Happy New Year 2024

Here we are at the start of a fresh New Year again and 2024 is the first year without any of my kids in school.  They are both young adults and amazing kids, life as a Mum is very different now to ironing uniforms, covering school books and making school lunches.  I find myself alone a lot of the time as they are out working, socializing and living their best lives which is what it's all about.  Raising them to be independent confident young people and I have 100% done that and am very proud of them.

Teddy my puppy is keeping me very busy and to be honest totally exhausted as I ended up with sciatica which is very painful.  I believe it was caused by the 101 times I was lifting Teddy up out of the fenced in play area bringing him inside and outside etc.  It didn't help having sciatica while I had to get the house ready to host 13 people for Christmas Day however this week is the first week it's been a pain level of about a 2 out of 10 whereas for the past 3.5 weeks it was like a 15 out of 10.  Health is wealth and this year it's the one thing I'm going to be focusing on to get fit and healthy.  Walking Teddy twice a day will be a great start.  Today he is going to the groomers for the first time so he will look very weird as his hair is very long at the moment and he'll look a lot smaller without being a ball of fluff.

The other day I watched "Bitconned" based on a true story of 3 guys [but Ray Trapani is the main guy]who wanted to be a career criminal and set up a company to provide a Visa Card that used Bitcoins. OMG it's crazy to think how long they got away with it.

"Bitconned" a 2023 Netflix documentary, delves into the captivating and scandalous world of cryptocurrency fraud, primarily focusing on the rise and fall of Centra Tech.

Here's a few photos of the beautiful sunset the other night.
