2022 was not the happiest of years for me, I must admit. I lost my mother, a dear uncle, and my Molly dog. Oh, and I had a brush (very minor!) with Covid. All of this affected my ability to write, and my output last year was abysmal. So I am very glad to see the back of it, booting it out of the door just like that poor pig.

Here’s hoping 2023 is kinder to all of us, bringing us peace, health, and happiness. I hope you all have the bright and happy New Year promised to this porcine plutocrat…!

All best wishes, people.
