I wasn’t going to write again today, but I’m in a good mood.

You see, I had to go into the library in Skobieville this afternoon to return the books we borrowed to bring to France.  They had been sending threatening letters again.  Anyway, the bloke behind the counter was in a good mood and he let me off the fines, which was fair enough, but then he wished me a Happy New Year, so I kicked his teeth in.

That’s why I’m in a good mood.

I swore I wouldn’t do this, as it is completely against my religion, but everyone else is doing it, so fuckit – here goes.

Thanks for visiting during the year, and even greater thanks if you commented.  It’s what keeps me going [along with the tobacco, Guinness and Prozac of course].  I really appreciate all the comments, no matter how snarky, misspelled or downright rude they are.

To those of you who are regular readers, but have never left a comment – be brave.  I promise I’ll try not to be too sarcastic in response if you break the habit of a lifetime.  After all, it’s rude to peer through the curtains without knocking on the door first?

So here goes –

[*Closes eyes. Takes a deep breath and hopes no one is listening*]

Happy New Year everyone!

[*opens eyes, and swallows large whiskey to take the taste away*]

There.

I said it.

Enjoy yourselves.

See you on the other side.
