Happy New Year! Geth and I are at home in Newcastle again for New Year, looking forward to a quiet start to 2026.
This year’s New Year Resolutions:
- As ever: sort the house out. Get rid of the rest of the stuff that needs getting rid of, paint the walls that need painting, find a proper place for everything kept.
- Do more writing (prose fiction, text adventure games, and this blog). More importantly, get it out into the world.
- Overhaul the training plan, make improving in the half marathon the focus for the year, and DO NOT run any marathons in 2026.
- Keep prioritising videogaming, and play more games that aren’t Disney Dreamlight Valley. I love it but I spent far too much time on it in 2025.
- Don’t go on any out-of-town trips in 2026 that weren’t considered by the end of 2025 (barring weddings and the like).
- Make more serious efforts towards the long-talked-about midlife career change.
And today’s the day: happy eighth birthday to my blog!
