2 Jan 2025: Happy New Year

Mon: on this 6thDay of Christmas, no six geese a-laying but laundry done&folded, not enough energy or motivation there yet to put them away. Will wait until 12rhDay of Christmas, ie Sun5Jan2025 to put away all the 2024Season’sDeco&Greetings at the same time

Tue: be safe&enjoy this last 2024Day and for 2025Countdown wherever you all may be on this 7thDay of Christmas. Looks like the hood here is ready&decked – so before the clock strikes mid-night tonight, instead of raising your glass, raise your LeftFoot and then you can be sure you will start 2025 on the RightFoot – hahaha

Literally&practically at my doorsteps on the 7thFloor, without any need to be in the crowd, delighted to see ppl gathered for the countdown and in my present situation, there’s nowhere as the comfort of my 4-walls where I want to be – that’s what being at the RightPlace&RightTime on the RightFoot with the RightPerson is about for me!

Wed1Jan2025/12midnight: festive fireworks display and glad that ppl could stay in their heartlands to ring in 2025 despite my personal thoughts about fireworks! but what is most impressive is that everything is cleared&cleaned before daylight to start a bright&clean 2025 after a good night with ~6+hrs sleep.

Happy New Year/新年快樂/Godt nytt år to Each and Every One of You wherever You may be. Starting 2025 on the RightFoot with Gratitude & Hopes that both HealthyFeet will carry us Peacefully & Safely to wherever we belief or choose or dream or hope or want or wish to be…

First 2025meal, yummy Norwegian-style open-face-sandwich of NorwegianButter&SmokedSalmon+ScrambledEgg with SpringOnions to start off the year.

Kiritimati Island also known as the Christmas Island and 10 others mostly uninhabited islands of the central Pacific Ocean is the first to ring in 2025. Countries furthest to the west on a British map are the last to celebrate the New Year this means, two uninhabited islands southwest of Hawaii, named Baker Island and Howland Island, will be the last to see the start of 2025.

Who celebrates the new year first and last? It’s complicated.

Tkx with appreciations to CH for this share from JoanWang and so far, the pix that talked to me where fireworks are concerned!

Happy new year 

Somehow the above pix managed to brush a certain chord in me that has been brewing over the past few decades! As spectacular(irony) as these NYE-Fireworks around the world are, cannot keep but wondering about more constructive ways to spend these $MultiBillions$ on, like education,medical,etc instead of fireworks,firearms,etc… senior years are certainly bringing back some idealistic teen years thoughts – hahaha.

Thu: feeling blessed&grateful to be able to catch up with greetings to&from family&friends around the world. Done with AntiB, slowly but surely breathing with less coughing after another goodnight of ~7+hrs sleep.
