Happy New Year

In these aspirations...

There is will in thought, there is none in dreams. Revery, which is utterly spontaneous, takes and keeps, even in the gigantic and the ideal, the form of our spirit. Nothing proceeds more directly and more sincerely from the very depth of our soul, than our unpremeditated and boundless aspirations towards the splendors of destiny. In these aspirations, much more than in deliberate, rational coordinated ideas, is the real character of a man to be found. Our chimeras are the things which the most resemble us. Each one of us dreams of the unknown and the impossible in accordance with his nature.

Victor Hugo - Les Misérables (1862)
  

So let us dream.

Happy New Year to all those who happen to find their way here and linger, if only for a while.

It's not a patch on a 1934 Austin 7 coupe. Mine cost a fiver, but it did need a new clutch.

All - Happy New Year. Don't drink too much. I'm driving so I certainly won't.
