and thanks for visiting this space last year ...
something unbelievable happened at the end of last year
... someone rang our doorbell and asked us
if we would like to buy our apartment
... and we did

... yes there's a contradiction there
anyhow ... the new year will be about white and light
and i know you will make the world more beautiful
