Hello there, 2024.
Hopefully, you can do a better job than your counterparts of the past five years. It's been a pretty dire run of pandemics, cyclones, wars and general batshit crazy political calls since 2019's turn.
Surely we can get back to that utopian dream where tin hatters and needlers can share a funny joke over lunch? A place where global power wranglers wield weapons of peace instead of greed? A place where women's rights are respected and upheld and racism is educated out of existence? A place where profit, the environment and social harmony take equal weighting on balance sheets and shareholders' demands?
Is that too much to ask? I don't think so. You've got 363 days left.
Good luck.
See you at the beach ... Derek
PS This week's images come from some of my favourite swells or snowfalls from 2023. I'm sure they'll jog a few memories. Happy holidays from all of us here at Box of Light. Arohanui.
