Okay, folks, you are listening to the latest chapter, the latest adventures and the latest happenings on planet pork.

You're with myself, the porkmeister, and of course, the rock chick writer.

Extraordinary, Ms. Leslie Ann Jones, And Leslie Ann, this is the last one of the year, because we have to let our readers know.

We're both going to be busy over Christmas, both away next week. So we're up doing one between Christmas and the new year.

Look forward to seeing everybody in 23.

But it's been, you know, certainly a very, well, energetic year in the world of politics

and health and everything else.

And pretty much for you as well, Miss Jones, with all the projects that you've undertaken

and some new ones in the new year.

I'm not sure if you can tell us about them, can you?

Some things cooking.

It has been a very busy year this one, though, hasn't it?

And always surprises.

You know, I sometimes listen to friends who are a bit dejected,

bit down in the dumps, and they'll say things like,

well, I've got nothing on the cards for, you know, the next few months.

Something always comes up.

We have this little saying called Swatu, S-W-A-T-U, which means literally something will always turn on.

And as you often say, life turns on a six-based.

Something always does arise that turn things around.

So I think everybody has to be positive, have hope.

Yes, it seems really crap right now out there.
