Does not feel that long ago that I started last years thread....but...

 

Merry Xmas/Happy Holidays/Happy New Years to all, take care.

 

And if you're out on the water, please wear your life jacket and have all relevant safety gear, I don't want to see reports come into work of people I "know" getting in trouble on the water :)

 

Onwards and upwards with 2024!

You got in early this year xpd. There must be a badge for that.

Will be glad when it’s over. I enjoy Boxing Day the best, no cooking, lots of leftovers and friends coming over for seconds, far more relaxing.

Wishing everyone a happy time and a good rest when it’s over. The weatherman's outlook not to great for Welly but we could still be surprised.

Merry festive season, everyone. 

 

And happy birthday to my childhood best friend, who I haven't seen in over 40 years. He hated having the same birthday as his parent's main man. 

 

Have a great break, if anyone is taking one and enjoy what the summer has to bring, whetever that may be. Stay safe out there and remember to slip, slop, slap.

From Me and mine, to You and yours, Have a Happy and Safe Holidays, whichever and whatever flavour of that you celebrate and makes you happy. 

 

Don't drink and drive, take that nap if you feel drowsy (pull over first!), and let's all get 'home' safely.
