Me: Happy New Year to you all and welcome to 2025.
Nell: Yes, Happy New Year.
Me: This is going to be a good year. I can feel it in my bones.
Nell: My bones are a little achy, to be honest.
Me: You walked a long way.
Nell: I think your New Year’s resolution should be to get a new hat.
Me: I love my all-encasing hat. It keeps my ears really warm.
Nell: David chewed the front of it.
Me: None of us is perfect, Nell.
Nell: 2025 is certainly going to be interesting.
Me: Kev and I will become pensioners.
Nell: I wouldn’t have started with that.
Me: We’re moving house.
Nell: True.
Me: And happiest of all, Chris and Shannon are getting married.
Nell: The highlight of the year.
Me: Yes.
Nell: Now, it’s the first of the month, so post the link to website where people can support your writing. No dilly-dallying around. You post a conversation every day and their support really makes a difference.
Me: It does.
Nell: Go on, then.
Me: It’s buymeacoffee.com/saramartin and every single cup of Earl Grey you buy us is truly appreciated.
Nell: It is.
Me: Last night was fun. Steve has a surprisingly good voice for a donkey.
Nell: He does not.
Me: He knew all the words.
Nell: It was karaoke. He was reading them.
Me: I don’t think Gladys should have been hanging off the chandelier.
Nell: It was a ceiling light.
Me: Chandelier sounds more exciting.
Nell: It was quite exciting enough.
Me: Especially when she started to twirl around.
Nell: She’s lucky llamas have long necks.
Me: I’m lucky to have you and the love and support of so many.
Nell: I’m right by your side. You and me. Always.
Me: Yes. Sorry.
