    Since everyone is at home beside their own fireside this year, rather than gallivanting in Times Square or Grafton Street lets see if we can keep this on the front page of Boards long enough to gather a few greetings!

    Happy New Year to all O&Os and indeed everyone on Boards - there's about 4k of you here at the moment, so all good wishes to all of you!

    I'm a bit late my friends. I've been attending church services online. I don't drink but I had a nice glass of orange squash as I drank all the 7Up over the Christmas! Happy New Year everyone. Let's hope 2021 is going to be an improvement.

    Happy New Year JB! Not that I don't drink, I enjoy the occasional glass, but I saw in the New Year with a cup of herbal tea :D Stay safe, and have a good year.

    Well the daughter whose birthday is today went to bed early last night so the fizzy bottle was unopened. So a quiet night in the end and grateful for good health and a warm bed. And today the lovely sunshine.....

    Bottle on chill for later, didn't do much last night, got an email about work from a client at 11:50pm, went for a walk at 1.30 beautiful night for a walk.

    Festival of over indulgence almost at an end, I swear I saw a stretch in the evening today, sooo good.

    Stay safe all.

    A little cooler out tonight, very bright though, lots of little animals out and about, at this stage I know that's a sign things are about to get really cold. Off to the nest with me now. Goodnight.

    Happy New Year to you too Muffler. Stick around. We need some company in here.

    How's y'all feelin'? I've eaten too much! Too many choccies. I've just finished the last piece of fresh fruit now and I won't be shopping until Monday. The waistline is a tad tighter than before Christmas. Time to think about a new diet. I'm eyeing up the Christmas tree, (no, not to eat!) I need it gone now although I know its usually up until the 12th January, just another of those daft traditions.

    Feeling fine, haven't eaten too much as I am not able, have to eat modest quantities (gut issue) but what I had was very nice! Doesn't seem to result in my losing weight though!

    Harder to lose weight at this stage. I can't run much any more although I'll give it a whirl in the spring. Need to work up to it! Should be a laugh for some passer-by! :eek:

    Bit of a quirke as of late, when my back is acting up, I can't stay in one position for too long, that includes bed 3.00 to 7.00 day and night.

    When the trifle is gone I'll be back to my normal eating habits... :P

    Strange new year unfolding...

    New Year? Wait, what?!?
    When did that happen?

    I'm older than Minecraft goats.

    I love that! When I was a tiddler, learning my numbers, I used to say, "one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, onety-one, onety-two, onety-three....." and when I got to "onety-nine" I'd say "two-ty, two-ty-one, two-ty-two...."

    Kids are gas!

    P.S. Why do I get extra blank lines in my posts? I keep having to go back and delete them!
