This plus cyclng. New fitness goals. Already reached out to some old friends I have not seen in years as I was thinking about them over Christmas. Got a fishing trip planned just tonight with a mate I've not seen in 15 years who I lost touch with when I moved out of London. He has a 13 year old and I have a 12 year old now, never met!

This happens a lot, you think it hasn't been long since you've seen people but it's literally years ago!This plus cyclng. New fitness goals.

I visited both my sisters last September and it had been 15 years since we met!
We send cards every year but it was great to meet up in person again.
Talking of bugs, not really been ill only caught one bug towards the end of Nov.Put some blues on the turntable. Nod along.
Days are getting longer and the cold kills the bugs. And not a few of us boomers.
Touch wood and wishing all good health

January is a tricky month over on this side of the world. You go somewhere nice on holiday, it's hot as balls, and work can do one until at least the middle of the month.
Hang on, what was the question?

I thought I would try one of those tough lifestyle hacks that is meant to really sort you out. So I'm embracing change and having a strict "VIP January".
Vodka
Internet
Pot Noodles
It's tough not being allowed to leave the house, but I've already lost two days.

Ah, yes, January. Month with the highest suicide rates. It's a naturally depressing time of year.
My answer is to buy more computer stuff! Who cares if you need it? It's fun.

Ensuring I've got some sun lined up. I went to Majorca last year for a week of cycling in March and I think I'll be doing it again this season. I just need to organise it!
I just spent 3 weeks abroad over the Christmas period and completely skipped all the festivities so the blues are only really hitting me today with going back to work
I’ll be looking to get some exercise in, vitamin D tablets and knuckle down with some studying to keep me busy while it’s cold out side

Walking works for me. Also seeing the flowers, like daffodils, starting to emerge helps me realise that Spring is on the way.

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
January is more relief Christmas is over.
My biggest change this year is going to be job related. I want more time.
I also want 3 - 4 holidays abroad as I switch from saving to much to spending too much.
Trying to battle mental health as always. Trying counselling. But it's probably just an expensive venting exercise as I know my issues very well.
Managed to get up at 6 am twice this January for mountain hikes to see sunsets. I've never done that before.
Really hampered by rigidity of work + dark evenings. I can't control the darkness. But this is why I need to make work changes.
My dogs health deteriorates. And this is going to be a make or break year. Terrified of that. No idea how bad the impact is going to be with this. Could be horrendous.
Love that dog in a way I've never loved anything before.

I see life and light
All the colours of the world, so beautiful
Won't you come with me?
I see birds and trees
All the flowers of the world, so beautiful
Won't you come with me?

Yeah, something like that
Do your ears hang low?
Can you swing them to and fro?
Can you tie them in a knot?
And can you tie them in a bow?
Can you throw them over your shoulder
Like a regimental soldier?

If yes, you can take January in your stride.

You will be asked, does it have winter tyres?
