I've been a bit busy this year and have managed to migrate my websites into one sensible place and launch my new YouTube vlog in just over 3 weeks.
Well pleased, I can now enjoy new year, not something I'm usually tempted by, but this year, well, I don't know of anyone who actually wants to hang on to 2023 and time will move forward regardless.
