Thank you Di for this week’s questions, leading us nicely into the new year. Ps. I hope you are all having a great start to the new year so far and may you be healthy and happy throughout the year.
1. How long did it take you to get back into the normal swing of things after the holidays?
I have been back home now for 2 days and I’m just starting to feel normal now. Early nights, healthy eating, exercise and routine is just what I need.
2. Are you looking forward to 2026 with optimism?
Hmm, I haven’t really thought about it. I’m excited to see what the year brings I guess.
3. Are you taking part in any of the January WP challenges/prompts?
Nope! Is that bad? I normally do the Bloganuary challenge, to blog every day in January. However, I don’t think it runs anymore as we now have daily prompts provided by WordPress. Sadly I have completed many of them and it doesn’t let you answer again. To be honest, I feel like I’m running out of steam with blogging and maybe need a break. I also had a negative comment recently and I know it shouldn’t bother me but it has changed my mindset slightly with blogging at the moment. We’ll see how the week progresses.
4. If you could wish one thing for 2026, what would that be?
To be healthy and to see my family this year. Is world peace a stretch too far?!
Gratitude:
Grateful to have had a lovely holiday in Tasmania, watching my best friend get married. Also grateful to have made it home in one piece and returned the rental car with no issues! 😅
Hi Wayne,
thanks for joining in this week.
Nope, World Peace is not overstretching it at all, and it would be so welcome.
I cannot believe someone would give you a negative comment!
It’s a new year, so change may be in the wind. Hope any hiatus won’t be for long.
Take care.

I enjoy your blogs. Sorry you had a negative comment. If you blog long enough you’re bound to find someone who disagrees with something. Don’t let it colour your world.

So sorry to hear you had a negative experience here, Wayne. For what it’s worth, I love following your blog and your adventures. A break may help you to reset, but your posts will be missed.
Hope you have a fantastic day.

Thank you very much Richard, greatly appreciated. It’s all good. I have simply unsubscribed from the blog. It’s only my second negative experience here in nine years so I shouldn’t complain 🙂

Hi Wayne, I love the way your blog has evolved over the years. You added the doors posts and then Wayne’s word which are informative and interesting. I’ve even started looking at doors and entrances differently.😃
Take a break if you need to. I know I (and I sure a lot of your followers) will be looking forward to the innovative topics you will share when you return.

Hi Wayne!
Sorry to read about that negative comment! Here’s a positive one: your posts are always uplifting and refreshing!! I live in London so I’m always keen to find out what life is like on the other side of the world! I’m sort of like an armchair traveller!! 😊
With all best wishes for the New Year!
Sharon 💥🤗

So true Lynette. I think I’m tired too. All good though. Nothing wrong with a little break too 🙂.
