Chimes

– It's nearly midnight. The start of a new year.
– Whatever. It happens every year.
– Well, yes it would. But that doesn't diminish the significance of the moment.
– Should I break open the fizz? Maybe a bag of dry roasted?
– It's not just about shallow celebrations – although, yes, it is time to get the drinks out of the fridge – but it represents a pivotal point in your life, a moment for reflecting on the achievements and tribulations of the previous twelve months and resolving to be a better person in the future.
– Or there are some prawn cocktail crisps here...
– Prawn cocktail? I never buy prawn cocktail.
