I will be going to a new year’s party soon and I am not looking forward to it. I am sure that the food and drinks will be great and that the hostess will be fantastic but I know that a relative is going who is always very boring and tends to make a beeline for me. He works in emi shielding and loves to talk about it. I am not sure that people who even work in this area, like to talk about it much, apart from him of course! I remember he talked to me last year for a whole hour about thin film deposition and it was so dull! I guess I must be the most polite person at the party as I just listened and did not make any excuse to go away. I do not like to do that and in a way I feel sorry for him because it is not his fault that he has nothing else to talk about as he has no wife or children and hardly any friends because work is so important to him.

I will just have to make sure that I am not talking to him just before midnight as I would not like to think of him giving me a kiss – which is what everyone traditionally does at the party. Perhaps I will have to rush off and get a drink and find my husband at that point!
