Musings from the shores of Lake Taupo

Xmas 2024

Well here we are. World is in turmoil but Xmas is Xmas. I want to wish everyone on Writing.Com a blessed Xmas and all the best for 2025. I have been sporadic on here but this site has kept my head above water over the years. Retirement is OK and am now embracing the freedom. Money is tight due to a small mortgage but it will be paid in 4 years or less so wife and I have much to be thankful for. We surviving cadets from course 25/20 have a Watsapp group and we have formed a close bond. This is also a blessing for me. Solstice has now passed but mid-summer in Taupo is great. Weather is hot and the lake inviting. Town is full of tourists and NZ holiday makers. Hard to get parking but the tourist $$ coming in are welcome!
That's all for now. Everybody please keep safe.
God bless.
