message in a bottle

We are getting into the holiday swing. Had coffee around 10 or so, then spend the rest of the morning and well into the afternoon reading. I won't finish book 18, but it is a blast. Walk around the local park, checking out the graffiti and getting some fresh air. Tended to the various end of year things: picture of the year "hope" and a wee update on 2023. There was not much to add. Otherwise dal for dinner to improve our fortunes. The gingerbread house has been demolished.

Maybe this is a message for 2024? Anyway, have a good start of the new year.
