jan + feb memories and march wish list 2023

Another 2 months, nothing productive done as usual. I start the same way every year – full of great ambitions and hopes for the year ahead and then waste my time like I have an infinite amount of it. Is that just me?

jan + feb memories

I went to see Scott Murphy + special guest who turned out to be Rivers Cuomo. This didn’t happen in either Jan or Feb, but I’ve not written about it and I wanted to. It was Nov last year. Actually, it was on the day I was due to fly to Manchester but ...

I’ve seen on the news and read articles about the current state of the NHS due to years of austerity forced upon the country by the conservative government, but now I have heard first hand accounts from my mum regarding the situation and it seems frightful.
