And the very same to you, Alex old mate!
It's been a year of ups and downs for myself as well.
One of the many highs was graduating from binoculars to a 12" dob.
I've had a few lows as well, but the dob sort of canceled most of them out
Drink deep the highs AND the lows
For the time cometh when you turn up your toes.
Ok, I'm no Shakespere (or Lawson) but if nothing else - I am original.
I look forward to the coming year with great excitement. Come what may, it's gonna be a beaut!
Best to all!
