NewYear26

Belatedly...
As usual, the chances that it will be a good, let alone a happy one are practically nil. Still, we resist, we bite, we make of ourselves the greatest possible nuisance and we keep Becketting on regardless and with an incandescent will.
Love, ferrets and a cute quote!
Al cabo de unos años o unos meses el viejo problema revienta los remiendos, provoca una crisis y el partido a la sazón relegado sustituye al que le sustituyó. Y por la misma causa. No sé de un solo gobierno que haya resuelto un problema serio: siempre caen, pero no les preocupa porque sus sucesores también caerán.
(After a few years or a few months the old problem ruptures the patches, causes a crisis and the party formerly relegated replaces the one who replaced it. And for the same reason. I don’t know of a single government that has solved a serious problem: they always fall, but they don’t mind because their successors will fall too.)
Eduardo Mendoza.
