Week 02/2026: 15th birthday
Week of 5 January 2026 It came to my attention this week that my first post on this blog was on 5 January 2011, so this week was the 15th birthday of my blog! I research and write my posts myself. I do not use AI in my writing....
Week 01/2026: Farewell to another year
Week of 29 December 2025 This was a week of low expectations and not much going on, as we said farewell to another year. So this is a kind-of sort-of year in review post. This post is wholly researched and written by me. I do not use AI in...
Week 1/2024 (part 2): Annual review
Week of 1 January 2024 Annual review: The week after the in-between week I was meant to go back to work this week. To clarify, I was supposed to have last week off, a public holiday on Monday, another day off on Tuesday, and go back to work on...
Week 52/2022: It’s not the end
Week 52/2022: Week of 26 December 2022 It’s not the end I’m one of those lucky people for whom the end of the year is an enforced shutdown. My favourite thing to do during this week is to not do anything and not go anywhere. And that is precisely...

2020 in review
Susannah Conway’s Unravel Your Year 2021 workbook asks you to describe the year just gone by in three words. It’s left open to you how you interpret this: you could, I imagine, choose three words that describe the year from a global perspective, from a personal perspective or anywhere...
19 for 2019: a review
It’s coming up to the end of the year so it’s a good time to reflect on my 19 for 2019 list: what went well and what I didn’t quite do. I haven’t posted for a while because there hasn’t been much to say now. Every week since week...
Weekend wisdom 3
A weekly review of things that came through my inbox that I found interesting and want to remember. This week was a mix of a couple of intense days and a couple of less intense days where I was able to slow down and deal with the backlog of...
The new year
I posted a different version of this post on instagram this morning with a non-sunrise picture of the beach. You can see a bird if you really look. I was going to do it a couple of days ago, before the end of 2017, but I’m not good on...
it’s been a busy year
Regular readers of this blog (if I still have any left) will notice that this is my first post in over three months. I’m not really sure where to take this blog now. In 2011 I achieved my goal of blogging my 365 Project every day, and earlier this...
