A friend suggested it might be better to go for a pre-owned year, which made me laugh :-) It might be more reliable. Anyway, wishing everyone a happy and healthy one... We didn't stay up til midnight but I was woken by our cat Dora, so captured this in the early hours - our Christmas deck lights. Sunday challenge

Turkish delight. Fry's Turkish Delight is a chocolate sweet made by Cadbury. It was launched in the UK in 1914 by the Bristol-based chocolate manufacturer J. S. Fry & Sons and consists of a rose-flavoured Turkish delight surrounded by milk chocolate. The Fry's identity remained in use after Fry & Sons merged with Cadbury in 1919.

TSC Wabi-Sabi - the impermanent nature of all things ... at Manning Point ... between the blue waters of the Manning River double delta and the golden sands of the Pacific Ocean. An outing, with lunch at Old Bar. The Manning River is the only double delta river in the southern Hemisphere and the only permanent multiple entrance river in the world other than the Nile River Egypt.

Sunday challenge - Chinese elements. Five Elements Theory is a Chinese philosophy used to describe interactions and relationships between things. The five elements — wood, fire, earth, metal, and water — are believed to be the fundamental elements of everything in the universe between which interactions occur... Five Elements Theory first appeared during the Spring and Autumn Period (770–476 BC). It became widespread: mostly used in Chinese medicine, philosophy, fengshui, fortune-telling, and martial arts. chinahighlights.com
