I wouldn't delete the Book of Faces...

I use it a fair bit - it's the only way I've been able to keep in touch with friends who live across the other side of the country. Couldn't be doing without Messenger. I've been using various chat software and apps since the early 90s...

I have 134 friends on Facebook.

2 of them died in 2021.

I have only seen about 5 of the others in person in the past year. A few others I might have messaged occasionally.

Some of the others I'm not even sure who they are or where I met them now.

Am tempted to have a cull. Or to just delete Facebook altogether but I like looking at the pictures and other info in some of the groups I belog to.

I'm not a big Bacefook lover but my daughter keeps uploading photos of her and the g-kids so if I didn't look on it every now and then I'd miss a lot of their lives. My brother in Canada also uploads a lot of photos so there's another reason. One of these days I'll update my photo - it's with my g-daughter when she was still a baby. She's now at secondary school.

Quite a while ago, I deleted FB. I rejoined after about a year and just added close friends and family. I have about 30 friends (who are actually friends). Before, I had well over a hundred that I hadn't seen in ages and was never likely to, either. People keep sending requests but I nearly always say no or ignore it.
I enjoy it much more as it is now.

Yesterday, I had quite a nice ride out on the bicycle. Today, it has turned arctic, snow, ice, and wind.

A very happy new year to you all.

A very happy new year to you all.

And to you

And the same to you too, @Gravity Aided

I've made it this far in 2022 without buying any bikes or parts of bikes.

I have been doing more down-sizing. If I start this year, I might complete the task in five years, or more!

I now have an empty drawer in the filing cabinet. (Even allowing for the fat, but will soon be thin, files). I also have a pile of paper and card to reuse, so only one side has printing.

Another quiz question for peeps to answer. Why, later in January, will I be sat in the Band Stand in the local park when I not planning to be play a musical instrument? For clarity, I will not be alone.

Protest!
You'll all be on the bandstand to prevent the bulldozer moving in.

The new year is even more wet and windy than the old one.

I think I saw more sun today than in the whole of December



Oh, and a belated Happy New (and hopefully mundane) New year to all.

You're doing well, just keep it up.

We had the Gammon Maz had bought for 'the festive season' for dinner, only one of those round ones but quite large. I cut off the plastic and gave it a Honey and Mustard coating/glaze then poured about a pint of Cider into the roasting tray...................Cooked up lovely, really tender and I made the gravy from the rest of the juices with another 3/4 of a pint of Cider poured into the tin and boiled on the top of the cooker (I've tried bringing it up to the boil in the Oven but that sends the 'roasties' a bit soggy)
