Happy New Year everybody!
2025, what a terrible year! 2026 has to be better – fingers crossed.
Because I have been a good patient, Nurse James takes me on a New Year’s Day excursion to Point Reyes. Always a winner. I am able to stagger around reasonably well and the fresh Pacific Ocean air is invigorating.
Back to bed!
The Quiet Ripple Defines The Pond 
Like those elephant seals! Takes me back to my 2008? trip to San Francisco when I was taken there to see them. Interesting creatures.
At least you seem to have warm weather there now – it’s below zero here as I type. Keep warm!
We probably went to Ano Nuevo in 2008 – closer to Palo Alto. Point Reyes is just 40 mins from the house, a beautiful drive through redwoods. I am amazed however close you can get to the seals. Typical Californian easygoingness. This is the vey start of the season, mothers will start arriving soon and the beach will be covered with hundreds of massive seals. What fun!
