Just as well, I guess - it's supposed to be extremely unlucky for any human to overhear them. Ha ha, well that's convenient.
I doubt I'll be able to get online much today, so have a good one, everyone!  |
You know I did hear someone talking outside just after midnight. Might have been the cats or the Foxes. I couldn't make out what they were saying but shortly afterwards a car started up and I'm guessing that's not covered by the superstition.
Enjoy yourself JJ! Hope you get some nice Pressies. Hope somebody got you DVD you wanted anyway.
