Happy New Year!
Christmas Eve walk along Tynemouth Longsands.

Oh what a life I have lived, inside my own head.
So many unforgettable plans.
Such beautiful intentions.
It was so cold today that the river Tees next to the office had completely frozen. #Tees #RiverTees #Ice
I don't have strong feelings either way on Christmas. I like it. It's also stressful and can be sad. But I do like that it means December gets a theme. The whole month. Officially. It's a month that feels different to the others. Unique. It would be nice if all months had a theme. People try with October and the spooky, pumpkin stuff. Then then there's the misery based front end of January that isn't really acknowledged. At no point in December do you not know what month it is.
I don't really have much to do with my family outside of my parents. I've not seen any of my large extended family (aunts, uncles, cousins etc.) for well over a decade or two. I had to spend the day with them all yesterday at a funeral. There was a strange feeling of being there but not really knowing who you are. Balancing the expectations of how you were when younger and as a result feeling unable be yourself now.
We've reached that time of year: Set off for work in the dark, arrive in the dark, leave in the evening and it's already dark and obviously dark all the way home and until the following dark morning. Mood in between dark commutes: dark.

When I say I've decided, I mean of course for me. You will obviously feel different or possibly the same given the sample size of podcast listeners.

It used to be books, I could have more on the go in the past than I can now. One is enough now.

I've decided that it's only possible to keep up with four podcasts and only one of those can be an attempt to listen back and catch-up from the start.

I like dozens but eventually always end up back at four on the go at once. Attempts at a fifth result in me going off another.

There's a roundabout on my route to work, the last one before I arrive, with no normal first exit. There's just a grass embankment where the left turn should be. It feels as though there should be more than just a straight over. I can't even think what is beyond it. It's too steep to causally walk up and look over. I'm starting to think it's one of the edges of my map, the limit of this sandbox. I suspect there's a wall hack to get out of bounds and explore underneath all of this.
