Hi B, how has your first day of 2024 been? 

It was a good day, warm but very relaxed  

How about you?

We didn't leave the house also!

The weather is about as unreliable as British weather can be, so I'm staying indoors and relaxing after a busy Christmas.

Sometimes that's the best thing to do.

Hi Clo! 

Hey Mister T, Hey gang! 

I went to bed at 5am! We had talked about going to see the Pierrefond castle today but it's already past 4.30pm (between talks about going there at 3am 😄). We had a very nice party with a couple of my friends and my brother's

I only wish I could have stayed home today, but I'm currently working at the restaurant.

Happy New Year gang! 🥳

Hi Terry, I hope you're not too hung-over today , lol. 

HaHa!  Believe it or not, I only had 4 large beers over a period of 6 hours.  I woke up without a hangover, cleaned the house, and actually worked on some editing for you and drsawzall today.  😛 Hope your day is going well.

It sounds like you had a good time.  I had to google the castle, and it is amazingly beautiful.  How far is it from where you live?

Pierrefond is a 25 minutes drive from my dad's. Many movies and even the serie Merlin was shot there. Compiègne castle is nice too, in another style and 10 minutes from my dad's. My middle school was on the other side of the street from the castle and we'd have PE in garden/forest around the castle. We're lucky to be surrounded by mani beautiful forests here.

In other words, you went to Camelot.

A new chapter has posted, dedicated to the memory of Carlos Hazday. He is missed as we start this new year.

That sounds so lovely, Clo.  I can't imagine how wonderful it would be to see a castle outside my school.  I'd probably be distracted from studying, imagining what it would be like to live in the castle.

For the next twelve hours, no one mention the word 'food'.  My stomach and I will appreciate it.

Compiègne castle isnt really from the middle age. It's final and actual design is from Napoléon 1st. The legend says that he made the "allée des beaux monts" for wife, Marie Louise, in one night! Truth is, it took years and a line of trees was hiding the tree feeling work until the last moment

 Even laughing hurts. How does the saying goes? "You are what you eat". Well, I'm chicken, rice, spaghetti, potato salad, bread, cookies, grapes, candy, Coke, and peach juice. And that's just what I can remember.
