I’m currently doing this challenge called January. Where you just try to make it through every day of January.

I am trying hard but keep on falling into a black depression pit. Really hate this time of year. Sorry for gloom post.

Today I have swum in the cold lido. It was eerily foggy and bleak but beautiful. It helped. I have also eaten an excessive quantity of cheese with chilli jam and crackers.

Not been easy today but kids have had a good time and doggo and cats got lots of treats. Wife made us all an amazing Xmas lunch. I am blessed with my lovely little family… but this day is very hard for me. Nearly through it. Love to everyone ❤️

Going to be in this exhibition at Wellcome from March! wellcomecollection.org/exhibitions/...

I’ve completely rebuilt the alt text engine and, I think, have something quite a bit faster and nicer here Don’t save this link, I’m still testing things (and there will be more options). I’ll post the new one when it’s cooked. But can yall go throw some stuff at this?

Have been in a depression pit but yesterday and today I have managed a cold lido swim which has helped a lot. Also getting out to walk doggo is good for me. Going to try to get myself feeling festive for tomorrow and the next few days…

A little louder for the folks in the back: The development of vaccines is likely the greatest achievement of mankind. www.washingtonpost.com/wellness/202...

Mice have eaten through our water pipes in the kitchen, causing a massive leak and meaning we have to pay lots for plumbers to fix, just before Christmas 😭 I have to say, I am not feeling at all fond of those squeaky fuckers right now…
