Happy new year all. Been for a nice long walk this morning and a quiet afternoon sewing planned. After I've read all this morning's messages ?

Happy new year with best wishes for good health and happiness to all. An unusual sunny and mild start to a new year here in Glasgow as Marydoll has already mentioned, the mildest Hogmanay on record.

We were in the grip of watching a new series on Netflix, Stay Close, which I would recommend, meant we almost missed the bells! No traditional large gathering of family and friends now means many messages flying around as we can’t meet up. All quiet and peaceful last night with no fireworks exploding, we eventually returned to watch the remaining episodes of a good thriller.

A stop and start experience of emotions for you Marydoll but pleased to hear your visit from Dollie went ahead as planned.
You sound much perkier since a dose of the best medicine arrived in the form of Dollie. ?

Thinking of you at this sad and difficult time GrannySomerset ?
Lovely to see you pop in Bellasnanna
Whether you just lurk or post farview you are still one of us.

My very best wishes for a much improved 2022 to all GM friends.

Good afternoon Mick and all. It’s mild (3°C) and sunny in this corner of Lancashire. I’m up, showered and dressed and slowly waking up. We didn’t get to bed until 3am. There were no parties going on, but at midnight boat owners, businesses and residents around the dock set off fireworks and cheered. It was lovely, there were some beautiful cascading fireworks but no loud bangs. Although everyone was distancing there was a good feeling of community that I have been missing. Today’s plan is a light lunch and a walk later.

Happy New Year to us all ?

? for you Auntieflo I can sense your anxiety.

Pittcity that made me laugh! You’re so right - me to a ‘T’.
Keep practicing GG13 you’ll get there if you apply yourself.
It does take commitment and dedication and to be honest not everyone has my well honed skills - you can only do your best, with baby steps at first to get into my #lazygransuperleague.
