Yet another go at more frequent posting
Trying to do some daily questions (kazzy_cee has good ones) is as close as I ever get to a resolution. Last year it lasted a few months due to cat worries*, so let's see. It's the 2nd here so you can tell I might not be prompt with the prompts.
1. The first day of the new year – do you have anything special to look forward to this year?
Not really, just some holiday time if summer ever gets here. There could always be something fun and unexpected; you never know your luck in a big city, as my mother used to say (not that I live in one). We used to plan ahead and book the cats into the cattery before going anywhere, but now that we just have 16-year-old Ashley, we're going to try taking her with us to the bach (little holiday cottage). I love being at the beach; it's a whole different relaxed feeling to town.
2. Day two of the new year - have you eaten all the goodies you bought for the festivities yet?
Nope, we still have two stollen and a large fruitcake (shut up, Americans; ours are delicious!), but they get better with age, so no hurry. We'll have the stollen in the next month or so, and the fruitcake can keep till winter. Because we don't have any winter celebrations in this country, it will be a small cheering thing then.
* Sebastian was ill and died; Ashley went suddenly blind while we were away on holiday but prompt treatment with BP meds - who knew cats got high blood pressure? - brought some if not all sight back and she's coping well.

A beach bach sounds lovely.
FWIW I have eaten all the goodies because I have no self-control, frankly.
I hope that 2025 treats you well.

The bach is right on the Waikouaiti lagoon and the beach is only a short walk away through trees (and I refuse to call it a crib). Sometimes we can hear the sea, and we can always hear the many bird on the lagoon, which is a protected sanctuary. We hope to go away more often if taking Ashley works out - and it stops being so crap and cold.

Ashley spends most of her time asleep these days so once she's worked out the new layout, she should be fine. She doesn't mind car rides, but we'll see how a one-hour one works. It's an experiment I hope works as we'll have more freedom just take off for weekends.
