Audience: Why is your own new year greeting not just coming in?

Presenter: ‘Cos I was busy with everyday concerns that I never noticed the arrival of a new year!

To all you honoured readers of lAkUnLeScReWs, blessings from the Throne of grace and bliss

as together, we say a resounding HAPPY NEW YEAR to ourselves, while reveling in parties especially with mouthfuls of morsels and vegetabled beef.

Today, tomorrow and the quick days that follow would be used to paint brightly coloured walls, as hopes and resolutions for changes in the pregnant year, 2013. It is pregnant from the coitus of ‘2012 and us’ but what manner of child would be delivered is yet a mystery.

Let us sing and please, do let us merry but we our eyes need be opened to the goings-on in the moment.

As we celebrate the entry of a new year, there are those who really do not care what the time says. While some celebrate with laughter, there are those who are in pains.
