My New Year’s resolution for 2023 was to post here one post per day this year. Unfortunately I was taken up in Hospital shortly after Easter and had to be lying horizontally for a couple of weeks…I’m up again at May 5 and will be backdating a couple of posts to keep the New Years’s Resolution “intact”
