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
"Rene And Georgette Magritte With Their Dog After The War" - Paul Simon
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.
Happy New Year and enjoy your holiday
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year and have a good break. Not sure who's going to solve the more obscure Snapshots for the next two weeks...
ReplyDeleteI’ll set my alarm and live in hope in the meantime, Rol!
DeleteHappy new year Ernie. I started writing a post about how grim 2025 looks at a political/ global level but it was too depressing so I deleted it. Like you say, maybe it won't be as shit as we fear.
ReplyDelete"A good year full of life's simple pleasures" to you too, Ernie. Starting with a fab holiday, I hope. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Ernie, and happy holidays! And whilst there are many reasons to despair at the actions of the human race, the existence of 27 Leggies isn’t one of them. Thanks for 2024, thanks for Minnie, Stars and Paul and especially thanks for Let’s All Chant!
ReplyDeleteAnd the debate rages on.....???.......whether Legs & Co or the dancers here best interpret Michael Zager's uber classic. Used to take so much stick from my mates for loving this. I went out and bought the extended 12" and if there'd been an 18" I'd have got that too. They said I was allowed one guilty pleasure but I felt no guilt about it. Enjoy your hols
