That was a brilliant summary. Overall, I had a positive year. No one died. No one was hurt or fired. A few acquaintances had babies. My cat is sick but is good now. I started a Substack and met a lot of awesome people.💕

Number of mice stirring on the night before Christmas: 1. Scared one of our guests witless when he went to the loo at 4am.

Thanks for all the entertainment in 2024, Georgina. Meeting fellow writers here has definitely been a highlight.

Genuinely heartwarming.

My 2024: chicken dinners, 36; hospital visits, 0 (a record); barneys, 0 (not boozing helps, viz hospital visits); swans hated, 257; and great days just mooching about town, 29.

Boyfriends 0.5. Hope the half you have loves you ten ways to Sunday.

Haha he was only ever 0.5 and now he is no more. Well, he still exists but not in my periphery! But someone to love me all those ways would be fab - let's hope for that in 2025!

That many dogs? Your year is blessed!

I gave up on trying not to give a fuck, it's exhausting lying to oneself. This decision only happened a few days ago and my giving a fuck decreased by at least 12%. Although that could be accounted for by the Christmas alcohol intake.

Ah, the trick is to sort things into those that matter and those that don't. Then your fuck-giving is much easier to manage!

Hope you're having a good end of year experience either way! 🌟🥂

My fuck-giving filing system is a mess!

This 2024 recap is so good that now I am too intimidated to write one. 😄

I must hear more about the Poultrygeist.

I think I have retired hurt before the end of the year! Done too much peopling. Currently curled up in the sofa bed in the kitchen with a book and music!
