‘25/‘26 New Year’s Island Trip – Day 2

We started today by sleeping it half away. It was 12:30 when I finally got out of bed. We get a little feral about bedtime when my DH is on vacation. 😏

Our neighbor to the east and I took a walk up the road, stopping at the neighbor to the north along the way. I wanted to bring her plum cordial. After 30ish minutes, my eastern neighbor exclaimed that we’d better get going as it’d be dark when we returned . And it was!

We met again at 7 for dinner in town. The restaurant, which seats about 35, was hopping. The three of us had a great time. We’re tucked back in Stella pondering whether to make a stab at midnight. I’m guessing not. Another game of back gammon, a glass of champagne, and close the door on what has been one of the most politically fucked up years of our country’s history. May 2026 be an improvement 🎉.
