conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Stormy is the word.<\/p>\n<p>This is the Eagle&#8217;s Nest:<\/p>\n<p><a

in the coming months.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to all the readers and commentators for the year.<\/p>\n<p>The next instalment of the Smith Family Manga will be on January 5, 2024.<\/p>\n<p>That will be Episode 9 of 12 in Season 1, which has focused on the Smith Family itself, particularly the parents.<\/p>\n<p>We also have some fun planned for Season 2 which is in planning stage at present.<\/p>\n<p>It will focus on the kids at school and the local community where the Smith&#8217;s live.<\/p>\n<p>Best wishes<br \/>\nbill<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My blog is on holidays until
