To a Beauteous 2025!
…and I’ve already begun the process with a Korean clay mask. Also, I’m not sure what filters on my Samsung phone have made all of my beleaguered recent selfies appear somewhat convex, resulting in an alarming egghead and as though I have a hairline like Queen Elizabeth 1; but no matter how much I fiddle…

End-of-year plague
Just a quick post to let everyone know that, at least in my neck of the woods, there’s a fairly heinous bug going ’round.
