Well done. I have some washing on, have mopped and will be doing some tidying up in the kitchen and doing some meal prep shortly. A nice clean start to the year.

An abbreviation of honey for the vowel phobic. If you want to abbreviate "Happy New Year" it needs to be HNY. Or preferably HNY!!πŸ₯³πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰, with the number of emojis and exclamation marks increasing depending on the level of drinking you have done.

I find sometimes having the camera enhances the moment. It helps me to focus on details and look at things from different angles, thinking about how/if something can make a good photo. I also like to put photos together into sets, so I will be thinking about things like how the detail on different old building compares, or finding all of the individual flowers in a garden as well as looking at the overall view. Then when I get back home and go through all the pictures to put together an album for the day it both helps to solidify all the memories and gives me a nice reminder to look back on.

I think the problem is that a lot of people take a photo instead of really looking, just as a way of ticking off a box of "I went here". Or they are just focussing on taking pictures of themselves, and wherever they are is just a backdrop.

That looks very yummy. I have an egg delivery on Friday, I may have to take inspiration from you for a few breakfasts once they arrive.

I am pleased to report that my finger has not been hurting as I feared, and the tenderness around the splinter site has mostly gone. Although it is a touch ichy, which is annoying. Especially around the injection points from the local anaesthetic for some reason.

I've been adding up all the bills, and my finger cost a total of $340, plus whatever subsidies the govt. gives the priority care clinic (including the tetanus shot they gave me which didn't have any charge). About 2/3 of that was paid by Medicare, I only paid around $130 out of pocket. Which I would have been happier spending on other things, but in the scheme of things is not too bad.

The traditional 15 minutes of chaos for the fire service every new year.

The early bird catches the worm, but the early walker catches the spiderweb across the face.

I did have some plans for mopping too, but that never eventuated. Oh well, there's always next year!

I have now changed the sheets & vacuumed the house. Out with the old 2024 dust, in with the fancy new 2025 dust!

Fish fingers served on a toothpick please. So I can ceremonially remove the stick to appropriately celebrate splinter-free finger day.
