@frayrays -  Thank you!

@Polllardii I'm okay! Nice to catch up with you.

@frayrays -  Yes and me!  We used to go to the Canary Islands, (which are Spanish) but it is too far to go now we are older.  It's a 4/ 4 1/2 hour trip on the plane.  We loved Tenerife and Lanzarote in particular.  Hope you are ok.

@Polllardii haha! Where would I go? Spain definitely

@frayrays -  Reading this, the UK is not equipped for anything, anymore!  We should all emigrate and leave the stupid government to it!  Ha, ha.   Where would you like to go?  I  love Spain, but not their mosquitoes!

@frayrays Two nice nicknames!

@Whickwithy 'rays' I think I rhymed with 'fray' lol, but I'll answer to it too.

@frayrays I think I just screwed up.  sorry about that.  anyways, what about 'rays'?  i mean, i like it, i just don't understand the context.  another nickname?

@frayrays -  Glad you are okay.  Yes, they do pile up sometimes.

@Polllardii I'm okay, I've now got time to read and catch up on everyone's works. I just realised how much of a reading list I've accumulated.

@frayrays I hope you do write more soon. It's good to see you back.

@novelistASH I am. Thank you Ash, as I'm not writing much yet, I can atleast read you all.

@frayrays No worries. Do what you can when you can. I hope you're improving and coping well.

@Sohinigoswami good luck!

@frayrays / Glad to hear ! I am doing good as well. 
            I got a test this weekend too. Best of luck to both of us ✨️

@Sohinigoswami I'm good! You? Sorry I've not been on here. Will catch up with reading in about a weeks time. I've got a test I'm preparing for!

@christymahon always wonderful to hear from you! Hope all is well.

@Whickwithy sorry Mike, hope its not too late to wish happy new year

@frayrays No, I don't set any specific goals. 

@frayrays I wish you the best in the coming year.

@CottonJones thank you Olan, yours sounds very artistic. Hope you enjoy.

@frayrays I'm decorating my shillelagh today. I picked up an old stick lying in the yard where I used to live some 20 years ago and used it as a cane after I lost my ability to walk steadily after a bad reaction to a medication I was put on for epilepsy. I peeled the bark off of it and varnished it lightly. A few days ago I found a group of photos of shillelaghs on the web and my stick looked just like them, so I am painting it with designs and then shellacking it, a fun thing to do for the holidays. 
            
            Whatever you do for the holidays, have a blast! Lpf.

@CottonJones don't worry. I don't mind announcements.  I'm actually signing off for the year. Will catch up in the new year now. Hope you enjoy the festive period if you celebrate.
