Happy holidays to those who have 'em, and safety and warmth to those having tricky times. I delight at the Morningverse, still a corner of the internet unspoiled and fun.

Merry Christmas everyone!

It's the 6th already so it looks like we have our feet firmly into 2025 and there's no going back. Good to see you all still here.

We may be all here but are we all there?

[pen] Don't we get 28 days to reconsider? Don't think I want the old year back anyway, but Statues have rights... or something...

[bllamelewis] Try sending it back, see what happens? (I'm just going to hold my nose and go forward...)

I'm still dealing with this major contractor fraud and the fact that she put rodents all into my walls and ceiling . . . and they have scratched their way out. It's so bad that they are ALL OVER my bedroom every evening, even jumping on me.

[pen] Looks like we're stuck with this year then...

[blamelewis] Hold on a mo... sun's out today! Politics is a bit too gripping for my liking though.

In Belgium we have a national government, only 234 days after the elections and only 1593 days till the next ones. What's gripping in Dutch politics?
