In With The New . . .

 . . . well nearly-new!   Dd in final preparation mode for the party at Briocarioca's home tonight before heading to Copacabana beach for the fireworks.   Her nails have been done in the French style with an additional line of gold between the main clear body of the nail and white tips.

I got all my invoices out, rather unfairly burdening people with debt in the last few hours of the year . . . but needs must and I feel better!
