Monthly report: January 2025

First monthly of the new year means it is time to update all the things; colours and labels on graphs, lists of things I've watched, probably others.

Highlights of the month:

• Bureaucratic Triumph in my wallet
• Tidied up here behind the scenes
• Visit to London to see my sainted mother
• Visit to Torquay to see my sainted sister in law
• Caught up with friends
• Caught a cold and still dealing with it
• Sewing!
• Crochet!
• Thought a bit on the 18th anniversary of my father's funeral
• Salted my lemons and limes
• Dipping a toe in Bluesky
• Submitted an episode to the Fortnum & Mason awards; pointless, but ...

Stuff Done

Failed to streamline and simplify the whole donations business on ETP. Made a start to the redesign here, to be informed by the need to consider a dark mode design from the start, even though I don't personally like dark mode one bit.

Previous years are still on an archive page.

Goals

Nine posts. That's even better.

Niggles

Still occasionally lose my grip on the things I need to get done, that super-annoying important and but not urgent quadrant.

Final remarks

See above.
