Diary Entries for January 2024
I woke with a headache this morning, the morning after the night before—the night before being New Year’s Eve. However, I only had a couple of drinks—two Jarrold’s Sloe Gins with coke. My thinking is that the headache was brought on by a poor night’s sleep, which was caused by the alcohol. Drinking so close to bedtime is not ideal, but Ruth & I had to toast in the new year. Had to? Perhaps not!
After a day of grafting, I have almost got this site ready in time for this new year. I could have finished it; however, Ruth and I watched TV during the evening. We saw a film—Death on the Nile (Disney Plus), and the last three episodes of All the Light We Cannot See on Netflix.
The last half an hour of 2023 was spent watching Rick (with a silent P) Astlee. Well, Ruth watched it. And I shouldn’t be so rude; the silent “p” bit is how I always introduce Ricks.
Anyhow, it is now 2024! Happy New Year Everyone!
It’s New Year’s Day, 2024 and Ruth and I are alone. We don’t have anything planned for the day other than to eat, not drink, but definitely watch TV at some point. New Year’s Day has become nothing more than a Sunday on a different day of the week! That said, it does hold the expectation of probable change—though this rarely happens, and any New Year’s resolutions are often broken on the first day of the year.
This diary entry differs from others—well, it is the start of a new year, and I am trying something new.
Having moved the live section to David’s Live, I realise the concept of live posting still has uses—adding content to my diary entries. I will still use David Live as a standalone website. Maybe as a social media poster.
Time to cook the remainder of our New Year’s Day lunch. The pork has been slow-cooking for a few hours. With this, we are having sprouts, carrots and roast spuds. I am also doing parsnips for Ruth, as they have too many carbs for me. Not as much as spuds, but…
Lunch is now over, and I have finished washing up. However, I was naughty today, enjoying three roast potatoes with lunch. Admittedly, they were previously frozen, so the carb hit won’t be as bad as it could have been, but it is still naughty.
Be patient! I haven't written enough diary entries this month to fill this space.
