Thank you Di for this week’s questions as we say goodbye to 2025.
1. Do you stay up to toast in the New Year?
Yes we normally do. We may not always go out to celebrate but we will sit up and watch the countdown. In the UK they have a great tv show called Jools Holland’s Hootenanny. It is the BBC’s long-running New Year’s Eve music show, hosted by Jools Holland and it has some fantastic acts to bring in the new year.
2. Have you ever kept any New Year Resolutions made in the past?
To be honest I never make any. I don’t feel we need to wait until the start of the year to make positive changes. I did have a goal at the beginning of the year and that was to become fitter and I feel I have achieved that thankfully.
3. Do you have any plans for 2026?
My plans next year are to remain healthy and eat more food as I really struggle to put on weight. We are also planning to visit home next year to see our families, that will be a highlight.
4. What was the highlight/s of 2025 for you.
Being made permanent full time in my role as a teacher of nursing. That was an absolute dream come true, hard work but totally worth it.
Gratitude: I am thankful to be here in Tasmania, spending time with my best friend as she prepares to marry her fiancée tomorrow on New Year’s Eve. Hopefully I will be back tomorrow to wish you all a happy new year. Enjoy your day and thanks again to Di.
I’m embarrassed to admit that I can’t remember the last time I stayed up until midnight on New Year’s eve! Wishing you all the best and for good health in 2026!

Thanks for joining in and wishing you a Happy New Year Wayne. Congrats on your permanent position.
Jools Holland is always good, but we haven’t had a TV since 2007 so if anything it’s local fireworks going off that tells us it’s midnight!

Oh wow that’s pretty cool Di. Happy New Year to you all and hopefully Maya isn’t too scared of the fireworks.

Maya tolerates the fireworks pretty well overall, except firework night when they start at 5pm and sometimes are still going at 2am!

They come in drips and drabs, then just as you think it’s going to be quiet, another lot start. This November was awful and the first time Maya was restless. We’ve found some lovely relaxing music (11 hours plus) which sends us all off to sleep!
