We are moving out of the old year while preparing very much to be in the new with some uncertainty about just how the first few months are likely to go.
Last year was very messy with us being very much locked down for a few months and very gradually restrictions coming off and places opening up such as museums and holiday accommodation.
We were able to go away for a bit in the summer but even so we had to be careful keeping the windows open and of necessity, we weren't able to go on things like the trains as there would of been too much risk.
I also decided to just go with whatever I felt okay with.The boy fully emerged looking very much the part in a brand new blazer and cap, wearing much shorter short trousers than before which just felt right even if we did have a fair bit of shower and rain during that time.
It was said "Someone looks as if they're ready for school".
B-B-Q with everything that could be toasted was had which was absolutely fun and fun was had for Halloween too which only showed how much face to face contact had been missed.
Forum was fairly activity this year having its own cycle of peaks and troughs with new people joining complementing ASB.net talking about a range of interests and observations.
This year I had a Hornby OO gauge British Railways class 3F "Jinty" 0-6-0 Tank Locomotive 47458 R058 in it's original box this Christmas as my main present.
That was a good sign of the progress in getting back to how I see me and acting on that rather than anyone elses ideas had come on.
We'll see how Twenty Twenty-Two turns out.
