Of course this is worldwide and we all live in different time zones but here in London England we are now in 2026. It is a few minutes past midnight and we’ve started the New Year.

We stayed at home. I finished work at 9 pm and went home at dinner. Had some cheese and wine and watched the London fireworks on the TV now it’s time to go to sleep although the neighbourhood currently sounds like a war zone with fireworks going off everywhere!

It just remains for me to say a happy New Year to all of you wherever in the world you may be.
