Happy New Year 2026
Well it's 1045 on the 1st January, and I'm about 15 minutes out of bed. Sadly that's because I was feeling awful all day yesterday, and still am. I was in bed at around 2200 last night, so not a good start to 2026.
Given that Christmas day was also a bloody awful day, due to mother in law who was on form as a nasty, bitchy pain in the arse. The "bonus" is that from the 26th till yesterday (31st) morning it was a pretty good time. Lots of nice food, drinks. Out walking racking up 15-20,000 steps a day. Oh, and lots of sex with my wife using both of our available holes.
It's weird, but every New Year I remember 2000 when I was on Emergency Response duty just in case the Millenium bug struck. By that point we knew it wouldn't, but nervous management, and legal threats (from the USA of course) meant having the coverage there was less hassle.
Nb For anyone saying it was all nonsense the work done on identifying and fixing IT programmes that would have failed, the costs could have been catastrophic on many industrial installations like offshore oil and gas platforms.
Add in some totally unbelievable management stupidity eg near fist fights at seminars with various company "experts" arguing over whether 2020 was, or was not, a leap year. An Irish company demonstrating their confidence in having fixed the millenium bug by having cycled through the date changes from 1990 to 1995 - spot the problem?
Anyway hoping I feel a lot better through today tomorrow
