Lunar New Year's Eve

It's Lunar New Year's Eve today and the tension and anticipation of young children in the countries celebrating Lunar New Year will be tangible. I've still got my little pig charm from 12 years ago and it's now hanging from a branch of pussy willow to celebrate the upcoming Year of the Pig.

For MonoMonday with thanks to laurie54 for hosting this month, today's theme is 'tension'

And thank you very much for your kind comments and stars for yesterday's onion rings and the AT188 results. BTW I'm feeling much better than on Saturday but that stone is still noticeable and hasn't passed yet :-(
