There's a temptation to review the whole year, not the month, which I shall try to resist.
Highlights of the month:
- The olives are surprisingly good. I mean, really tasty
- Triumphed over bureaucracy; now we wait
- Medical shenanigans investigated and dealt with, mostly
- Spontaneous evenings out with friends
- Giant bike ride with a Bromptonian in appalling conditions
- Confit of six duck legs made
- Rescued the building from a flood
- Cocktail party
- Launched the new podcast site design and tweaked this one behind the scenes
- Duck confit exceptionally good. Would do again.
Activities
A slow month, fo' sho. Wound up the big bit of paid work and admitted to myself that I actually enjoyed it far more than I expected. Will it recur? It might.

Stuff Done
The new ETP site redesign published, to a deafening silence, which is probably a good thing. Still need to streamline and simplify the whole donations business. Looking forward to putting what I have learned into a redesign of this place.

Goals
Eight posts. That's better.
Niggles
Not a one. It was a fine month, enjoyed to the max.
Final remarks
See above. I will now succumb to the temptation and say that the year too was pretty good. Yes, there's the politics, which seems broken just about everywhere, and I haven't a clue what I could do other than vote. And maybe protest if a suitable occasion arises.
