Happy New Year! 2024.

2024 has arrived.

Today as you will know from last week’s post, the Morrison family are having Christmas Dinner today. We will have other meat for our two remaining cats, and a black feral cat called Slinky, who has taken to living in our insulated cat kennel next to the house, and a huge ginger cat we call Slugger, who is a very tame, greedy fat cat who probably lives in the houses that were built nearby last year.

Have you decided on your new year resolutions?

Are you looking forward to the new year?

We all hope that we can continually become slightly better versions of ourselves. Yet, at some point, we need to face ageing and that personal growth aim gets replaced by the desire to just slow down the decrepitude a little bit.

Whatever side of the hill you are on, the upwards climb or the downwards descent, I wish you well in your aims. This blog is often to do with lifestyle measures that you can implement to help you, whether you have diabetes or not.

In Scotland we still have a couple of months or more of the long winter to come. Last year our boiler broke down and we had six weeks over the worst of it without heating or hot water. It was really grim. I hope that doesn’t happen again!
