I have a plan for the Millennium. I'm staying in. Luckily I have no choice, I can't leave my mother at home alone, aged ninety-three, on the eve of the next century. She is my cast iron excuse to save me from plodding through crowds, traffic, noise and chaos to parties and events or whatever else is going on that we won't be able to get near anyway. So to avoid all this, I am going nowhere.
Daughter has another solution.
She is going everywhere. She's planning to be out there in the thick of it. She has thrilling and meticulous plans. She is going to lots of parties and while she's at them she'll be on her mobile checking with all her friends on their mobiles at the other parties to find out which is the absolute best party, and then she's going to make sure she ends up at that one. Let's hope she makes it.
