And a Happy New Year from here, too.
Just got back from a family Christmas in France (3500km round-trip by XM), with a chilly -4°C on Saturday morning just south of Burgos. Not used to having to defrost!! Car behaved itself immaculately, 43mpg at an average 60mph, loadsaluggage and our two dogs.
Hi all.
Yes, HNY to all from me, too.
We'll be out on the hill, watching the (mostly illicit) fireworks in three counties, on this amazingly warm New Years night.
Hope you're all having fun, however you choose to do that!
May 2019 be kind to all of you.
Please accept, with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress, non-addictive, gender neutral celebration of the final day of the current year, practised with the most enjoyable traditions of religious persuasion or secular practices of your choice with respect for the religious/secular persuasions and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all.
I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated, recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2018; but not without due respect for the calendar of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make our country great (not to imply that our country is necessarily greater than any other country) and without regard to the race, creed, colour, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wisher.
By accepting this greeting, you are also prepared to accept the following terms :
This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It is freely transferable with no alteration to the original greeting. It implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for her/him or others and is void where prohibited by law, and is revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher. The wish is warranted to perform as expected within the usual application of good tidings for a period of one year or until the issuance of a new wish at the sole discretion of the wisher.
Best Regards (without prejudice)

I'll be well tucked up in bed in preparation for a double New year's day parkrun and some cycling
