It's 15°C here. It's a nice change from all the rain and grey clouds we had the last week but it kinda feels weird to be this warm on a january 1st

Ah! See @Drew Espinosa it's took Terry barely a week of knowing you to figure out you're not innocent

Thanks Dugh, happy new year to you and Mom too

2022 had arrived here in France so I'm wishing you all a very happy new year. The last couple of years have been testing, grueling even for some, but I want to take every little seconds of joy I can get and just be happy and I wish the same for all of you as well. May this new begging brings light, happiness and smile on our faces my friends

Sometimes life can be bluefish ironic. My dad's bedroom door was ajar and the cats went to fight on the bed so I went to separated them. That's how I saw that he's thrown away absolutely all of my mom's things. Nothing is left in the wardrobe or bathroom. Nada. This week he's been doing some tidying and sorting but I thought it was his stuff and some old stuff of her. Thing is he didn't even told me, consult me or asked me if I wanted to keep a few things. It's all gone. The irony? At the same time I got a text from him - cause yeah he only told me this afternoon he wouldn't be here and I'd be alone - wishing me a "happy new year full of joy and success". I've been thinking a lot lately and I can't keep getting hurt like that. I can't keep waiting for a gesture, a look or even just a word from him I'll never get. The times we tried to talk he stayed on his positions, getting defensive even and not listening to how I feel so I think I'll write him a letter and I won't be coming back to the house except if I really really need to. I'm not cutting ties, he's the only parent I have left, but right now it hurts more than stepping away will. I don't want to let the last couple of year dictate my future life. I want to get better, to be better.

How many times did you read The Malaise this year Albert?

I feel like very year is worst than the last one *sigh* but well let's have hope for this one and enjoy every moments as their come happy new year lil bro

The fois gras is just a slice leftover from Christmas. Our oldest cat loves it, she approves of this nice pâté worthy of her

Oh no, I hope you'll both be safe. Good thing you had your booster shot not long ago

Spending the evening with the cats... we're having fois gras on toasts then some chicken and rice. So exciting. I hope you're all with love ones to ring in the new year

That's so sad. I'm sorry for your loss Gary

Oh no I hope you'll get out there with good news and with your furry friend in your arms

I think I've heard that the number of positive tests rised about the max of the 1st wave yet no real restrictions have been taken yet. Seems the government is waiting after the holidays, when the kids will have gone back to school to see how it'll be by then

Thanks Mr. T I had a great sleep until 11am. Woke up tucked between 2 cats. Spent more time studying. Most students are pushing to pass exams online but it's not on the agenda at the moment thought there are talks about having classes online from the week just after that and the rest of the students are pissed cause online classes have lead to depression last year blablabla. Me I don't really care as we won't have a say in the final decisions anyway so I rather spend my time studying to do my best instead of loosong my time with "maybe" and "what if" Hope you're having a nice day too. Thailand seems nicer everyday with you

I had a great evening with my best friends at my brother's. We don't see each other often as they live in Lyon and Rouen but when we do it's like it was just yesterday.

Specialized in mischief?

It'll come in April

Is that you and Steve?

Hi Terry, I'm good thanks for asking. I'm busy studying for exams next week plus working on a group project we have to hand on the 3rd. I was very reasonable during the festivities. We had a ham and veggies for Christmas eve dinner and a stuffed capon with potatoes on the 25th. I had a small slice of fois gras on both meals and same for dessert. No alcohol except for a couple of glasses of champagne. I saw your comment about Val earlier and yeah she's very good at cliffies and making us go from laugh to tears. She's an amazing writer, just like Gary. I hope you too are recovering for all that delicious food you had

You offering to take carr of them? Wouldn't you rather use diapers

He can be in bed and with us at the same time spoilsport

Did you turned into a lobster?

Just leave him a potty

Oh I'm sorry to hear that Gary. Get some rest and feel better At least it's not covid

NeVerland! Damm autocorrect! I'm sure Pagey will love being your Daddy (poor Page will have his hands full with you ) Anyway...
