To paraphrase Messrs Zager & Evans, "In the year 2025, if the world is still alive...".
At a global level it is hard to make an argument for being optimistic about the year ahead. Perhaps the best we can hope for is that it isn't quite as sh*t as its shaping up to be.
At a personal level it is a different matter. I hope all you lovely people have a good year full of life's simple pleasures like the uplifting power of music. May all your eggs be sunny side up and may any bad things be left locked away in last year.

"In Our Bedroom After The War" - Stars

I'm off on holiday at the crack of dawn tomorrow, and will be back on here in a couple of weeks. Until then I leave you not with the dreary dirge with which I opened this post but a different Zager with a much more upbeat outlook.
