If working the next day, SMILE..
Wake up on New Years Morning feeling like shit - so Stay in bed until lunch is ready. ( What, you don't have a cook ??? )
Plan your apologies and excuses - blaming it on the booze - for ' last night...'
Hide from your public until at least the headache goes.
Take the dog for a nice long New Years Day walk along the beach or woods or local park to get some fresh air.
Dress smartly for your tea with the Queen. ( Oh, didn't you get an invite. Is it just me going then ? )
and last but not least on my little list:-
New Year 2022 : Hope that by the New Year Covid has run and done it's worse and the world can get back to some kind of ' normalicy.'
Remember those who have - and those who have not, offered ANYTHING to ANYONE during these last Covid Years - as many will grab attention after doing nothing at all, and others will keep quiet after giving greatly of themselves. Happy New Year Everyone. With love John www.hamiltonhall.info www.communityliving.today
