So

so today is a new day, a new month and a new year, which means in five weeks from now, I’ll be another year older and hopefully wiser with age. since it is a new year, what way to start it off with is plenty of black coffee … got to have coffee and start a new book, which is: The Paris Bookseller by Kerri Maher. it’s a historical novel about the bookstore
Shakespear and Company. also did a couple of online crosswords, and updated the latest version of windows 11, which took about an hour or so to do. that’s it for now from the home front in Massachusetts

p.s. happy new year everyone

    Hahah… Loved the read….
    I will also be one year older in ‘seven’ weeks. I’ve also done a few crosswords this morning; learned a new ‘tap dance’ to the song ‘Footloose’ (that was fun); went over the dance steps of a sequence dance I tried to do at a New Year’s Dance Social, but had almost forgotten. (Got it now, and ready to show it off. 🙂 )
    Phew: I’m ready for breakfast and a sit down! Mind you, it’s 8am on Jan 2 for us here in Australia.
    Happy New Year

      Are you an Aquarian? Nice to see you’re keeping busy and staying out of trouble.
      Happy New Year, Carolyn

        Even though my birthdate is Feb 20, I’ve been told I am on the cusp of Aquarius & Pisces. I certainly relate to both; Aquarius more so than Pisces.
        Yes, I love ‘keeping busy’. Learning, learning, and learning has always been great sport for me.
        Good to see you too are ‘keeping busy’.

          I like staying busy, along with taking my walks. Aquarians are great people.
