Twiggy and I completed our 2024 challenge of walking the length of the Appalachian Trail before year’s end. I did 2200 miles. She must have done well over 2500 miles. We had 2 days to spare.

She can have a day off.

Just watched the 2025 New Year firework display from Sydney, Australia. About as spectacular a display as I have ever seen. Then they showed the one from Auckland, New Zealand. It was like some kid waving a sparkler in comparison.

George Michael (before he decided he was gay)
And, in my imaginary booth, still alive

[HunnyBunny]

Happy New Year all
Mr Bunny in Hospital all day, having a nasty cyst removed
And I’ve got flu, post flu jab, albeit very mild, but still annoying
Our celebrations are obviously not lavish

Well done, Dan and Twiggy

[HunnyBunny]

25 years ago I was working nights (unsurprisingly) and got to see the millennium fireworks in Cardiff
What a let down, after the G8 conference eighteen months earlier
A boy waving a sparkler, indeed

[Desperate Dan]

Haha @hunnybunny, Steely Dan was the music question in UC tonight. They hadn’t got a clue, numpties.

[Desperate Dan]

Santa’s not real?

And the booths are imaginary?

Not sure I can take any more.

Happy New Year everyone!

[HunnyBunny]

I got Steely Dan

Happy New Year x

[ixan57]

A good new year everyone

[Desperate Dan]

We know you’re pacing yourself for tomorrow @ixan57.  Just lay off the hedge hopping.

[Desperate Dan]

Miss January from my 2025 Twiggy calendar!

[HunnyBunny]

Loving The Twiggy Calendar
Think I missed two birthdays

@ixan57 poss near Christmas and @desperate-dan New Years Day?
Anyway Happy Birthday both xx

[HunnyBunny]

And finished of the 15p bags of veg from Tesco tonight
Bubble & Squeak bacon egg
Where is @briann

[Desperate Dan]

5th Jan @hunnybunny. But you can send birthday wishes again if you want.

BTW, the Twiggy calendar is a real thing so you might get Miss February in a month’s time.

And MHROTD, @ixan57, whenever it is/was.

[HunnyBunny]

Looking forward to Miss February
We always have the Countryfile calendar, but Twiggy sounds better

[catsnbirds]

So, Happy Birthday to Twiggy’s Dad!!!

[Desperate Dan]

Thankyou @catsnbirds.

For the record (and I feel I need to make this clear) Twiggy’s actual father is Karesu Born Achiever.

I was just wondering about New Year Resolutions and how many have been broken already. I wasn’t necessarily looking at you @hunnybunny.

 

[karen68]

Happy Birthday @desperate-dan!

Same day as my son.

[Desperate Dan]

Thankyou @karen68.

For the record (and I feel I need to make this clear) I am going to learn Welsh, learn to play the piano and write a book as well as walk virtually from Mexico to Canada.

This is a higher bar than calling Luke Littler an athlete.

[HunnyBunny]

Happy Birthday Dan

My New Years Resolution
To write “A Things to Do” list and actually do them
So far it’s not going well: haven’t even written the list

But after Mr Bunny hospital stay, we made it the pub today!

[Desperate Dan]

Thank you @hunnybunny.

Things to do don’t all have to be chores. Write some good ones and some that need doing. Put them in a hat and draw them at random. Well, it’s a thought anyway.

[Desperate Dan]

Yeah, where is @brianN? Is he just lurking until we acknowledge we are missing him?

[karen68]

@desperate-dan what kind of book are you planning to write? If you know.

[Desperate Dan]

@karen68

The Visualisation and Validation of Failure Data Models.

Well you did ask!

See you (virtually) in Canada.
