HAPPY NEW YEAR
Happy New Year!
As per usual, we are having a nice and quiet one.
I had saved the bone from the lamb roast at Christmas and boiled it up to make a bone broth a few days ago, so we had that and it was super delicious with silverbeet from the garden.
I know. Silverbeet, delicious? It is one of the vilest vegetables known to man but was pretty darned good in this broth.
Had that for tea with a really nice bread one of the kids made. Then used up the left over sponge to make another trifle. Really nice.
I've begun planning out my diaries, and I've been getting incredibly distracted watching YouTube videos on journalling and creating junk journals, so I found an old library book, re-covered it and I will use that, along with the proper diary I got for Christmas. I do love this time of year. Love it!
So 2024 is coming to an end... It wasn't a great year for the writing output, but it has ended productively, and 2025 I am looking forward to as being a good writing year.
Out of writing, and focusing on the positive, I would say my greatest achievement in 2024 was regular exercise which I have NEVER done before. In spurts, yes, but never for a whole year, although this year I did take two weeks off work for sickness, and another spell when I was in hospital. That exercise thing was a very significant achievement for someone who used to drive everywhere.
So Happy New Year, all the best for 2025, and here's to 2025 producing even more significant achievements!
