That's how I felt when I saw your comment! Merry Christmas, Alan - I hope you, Chris and the whole family had a joy-filled celebration. I'm on my way to bed (it's almost 130 am here) but just wanted to touch base with you, my friend. Seeing you on here is like the good old days...maybe they'll return again :) I hope so.

We did the Christmas Lunch at My Daughter , Shakira's place on the Saturday (23rd) and swam , being really Hot. Good Old Days would be Great. Hope you had A Good New Year Celebration?, Chris and I spent a not so Quiet Evening Last Night , with extremely Loud Music from the Neighbours behind us, and Firecrackers going off all the time. On the Local Blockwatch a lot of dogs ran away. We were fortunate in that it did not bother our Dogs that much.I wish you and your Family all the best for 2024. I am determined to finally put out some of the many songs I have written. Always appreciate your comments, John.

Sounds like a frustrating night, Alan - personally, I hate New Years celebrations they're always so forced and often frenetic. We had a very quiet night - no one disturbed the peace, thankfully. As for the year head I pray that you and Chris prosper and be in good health. I'm glad you're getting out your songs that's your passion.

Hope the New Year, is good to You and Deb and that some of your Dreams come true and others turn out better than you hoped! I am totally exhausted New Years Day Afternoon our Dogs got out, i recovered Rogue the Female Pit Bull, but no sign of Loki, the cross Bull Terrier. He is a very Friendly Dog, Hopefully he turns up, O K. The Local Idiots have been setting off Fireworks every night since Old Years Eve!

Yeah, it seems every neighbourhood has Yahoos. I think Loki will find his way back once the ruckus calms down. I know that feeling, Alan, when a pet goes missing --so sorry you have to go through that. Our pack has been very calm lately, probably because it was such a dead New Years Eve. Maybe you should put apple air tags on your dogs - they're fairly inexpensive and they really do work - I know because Deb can follow me on her cell whenever I take Abbey out for a walk. Good thing I don't mind being found, lol
