some random things i have thought and written down recently

I am really enjoying watching old reruns of TV programmes by Guy Martin. He's completely insane, and not exactly slick as a presenter, but damn he is watchable, and his unwavering disregard for his own safety is charming and rather captivating.

I'm still getting used to how dull and empty the house looks without a Christmas tree in the corner of the living room.

Is there a sadder job than putting away the Christmas decorations for another year?

A week til I'm 41. Jesus...

It is cheering me immensely to see how light it is at 4.30pm now.

And we're already halfway through January (near enough, anyway). March is on its way!

It is really good for my mental health to know that I have a holiday booked.  I intend to remember that, when people start showing up at my workplace for their holidays.  I'm there all the time, but for them it's a chance to unwind and relax and forget their homelife woes, and I want to be more mindful of that this year.
