......and what's new this tuesday evening - new year's eve, dazzlenation?...well, apparently oscar, ed 'n' james are playing a card game....what was the most memorable 2024 event and what do you hope for in the following year etc etc....and having looked at the following photos, the other day....i couldn't remember anything that fitted in with 'memorable' upon the list....more like everything that i wanted to forget....wars - aren't what i would want to call 'memorable'...nor was donald-trump-getting-shot...a list of things that i'd like to forget about which happened in 2024....hmmm....so what might have been 'memorable'....well, what about a cure for all types of cancer....e.g. something 'good'....instead of say, the following...instantly forgettable and for good reasons, as far as i'm concerned....a terrible year, in which i had to remember so much, that i would have rather forgotten and yet had to remember in order to 'keep safe'....see previous notes upon sir mills, rodway et al etc etc...oh and if one looks at the british royals...didn't prince william describe 2024 as 'brutal'  - presumably alluding to cancer diagnoses along with etc etc....go figure:

on the other hand 'bouncy pig' as in 'moo deng' isn't that bad, i suppose:

oh and if we're on the ultra-personal....the most memorable event of 2024 for me, was the 23rd of april...when i received a call from oscar telling me etc etc....paradoxically, a date that i can recall instantly...etched in my memory and yet have no wish to call it 'memorable'.....and yes, 'brutal' seems to catch the spirit of it all....a brutal year, all round etc etc...let us hope and pray that there is a better 'spirit' for 2025 in the offing because in all honesty, could it get much worse etc etc....go figure.
