Darkest Days


A few random thoughts, as the 12th Day of Christmas looms large and threatens to suck me into a pit of post-Yule depression:

I don’t like January. If it didn’t contain my birthday, and the NFL play-offs, I’d probably be on a suicide watchlist every year at this time.

This is the 13th Calendar year I have blogged in! That’s more than A THIRD OF MY LIFE!!!
Last year went well, blogwise, but disappointing December efforts blocked a chance of a new record number of postings.  Can I be bothered to set myself a challenge for this year? Can I be bothered to keep posting at all???

Mathew is one now, so I guess a corner has been turned – we will no longer refer to him as being x-months-old.  Bless him.

My life would feel better if we could see a few days of sunshine. My mood lifts, and the world looks nicer when it’s under blue skies and bathed in proper daylight. I think I’m right in saying that we’ve only seen the Sun on three days in the last 50.

Time continues to fly by quicker and quicker. Paddling my feet in a warm sea feels like it happened a week ago; in reality it was back in August. So – maybe it won’t be too long before I’m cycling in British Summer Time and basking in the glow of Spring.
We can hope…
