What a win for Forest today. Nothing like beating your local rivals! 🥳🥳⚽️

Had the day off today. Nice to go have some coffee and food in Birmingham for a change of scene. Excellent Greek place for lunch which was a bit of a pick and hope. Turned out well.

Dinner out tonight. Ramen with some sashimi on the side. Full to bursting now. 🍜 🍣

Last year I moved my blog to Jekyll, but I’m considering moving “back” to WordPress in the form of ClassicPress. Anyone got any experience with using ClassicPress with the likes of Ulysses?

Twitter tells me I’ve been a member for 15 years today. Sheesh. That also means I’ve been blogging for a similar amount of time, my guess is 16 or 17 years.

No you sat waiting for a file to publish without realising you hadn’t clicked ok. Thought it was taking a long time 🤦🏻‍♂️

Any day can be Blue Monday

Today, the third Monday of January, is commonly referred to as Blue Monday. It’s considered to be the most depressing day of the year. By this time people are feeling down because they have broken all their New Year’s resolutions and there’s still another week until pay day.

Day’s like this that receive a lot of coverage in the press can be both damaging and helpful to mental health awareness. They can harm mental health awareness by giving the impression that depression or other illnesses only happen on particular days, but they can be helpful by bringing conversations up with people. They can be helpful to highlight that every day can be a Blue Monday, it is not confined to a single Monday in January. Instead it can strike on any day, at any time. My Blue Monday’s have been on a Friday in December, a Monday in August, and a Tuesday in January. Each on years or months apart. What’s important to know is that they are all survivable.

If you are struggling with your own Blue Monday you’re not alone. People are there to help you, be they family, friends, or healthcare professionals. They all care about you. Don’t suffer in silence.

Sometimes it just clicks but I was fortunate with my first guess.

Reviewing some of my subscriptions that are up for renewal soon. Decided to have a look at the built in calendar app on macOS. Didn’t realise it had support for conference calls built in now, might be able to drop Fantastical now.
