Before I go into 2023, I'm tossing a grenade ahead of me.
Only one?

I've had a challenging year so am not sorry to see 2022 go.

2023 looks similar though and is more likely to be worse...

At least it is not raining so much now!

Nah. While I fully expect the coming year to be worse than last year was, in my ethical universe still being alive to suffer through it is a good thing.

Ah 2023......
Maybe this is the year I get enough time and money to finish the Kitchen.
Been a tough 2022 with no proper Kitchen.
But that's what happens when you run out of money in 2021 when the boiler massively failed it's test.

Wishing you all well and may your house repairs be cheap.and lasting.

With you on that one chap. We got the flooring finished and made a start on repainting the hall/ stairs/ landing, but new bath, sinks, and either loo seats or new loos (might be cheaper, believe it or not) followed by a full clearance of the garage, installing the workshop I have been slowly collecting for the last 15 years, and building the £100 pizza oven I have been planning for the last two years…

Shanghai has decided it is time to downsize so we will be moving to a smaller place requiring less upkeep and with fewer stairs before spring 2023.
So I, being the ever optimistic (yah Right), suggested we build the that house of HER dreams on our plot on Ballast Point Dego. Instead WE decided to stay in this frozen hell hole New England Bluest of Blue states and worker's paradise Taxachusetts.

Thank you! The irony here is that I want to move out of here as soon as a) the housing market restabilises; and b) I can afford it… all this work has been to get a brand-new house (from when we moved in 5 years ago) to the point where we can actually sell it for a profit, fixing all the snags that existed- carefully hidden by the builders- when we moved in.

The Good Lord blessed you with Shanghai. The Devil cursed for having such good fortune with Taxachusetts.

I heard a joke once about a guy who prayed every morning for The Lord to teach him patience. And then wondered why he gets stuck in traffic every day.

There are lots of property options in Sydney...

One hundred pounds for a pizza oven?

It is good that you bought a Panamera.

One thing the last 10 years have taught me. Regardless if it's a good deal time/cost or not, you MUST be ready to reload ammo. It's not a question of time/money, but availability.
