24th December - The WORST Christmas Dinner I Ever Ate

Image
My life has changed quite significantly in the past decade, or even half-decade. Growing up, a traditional Christmas roast wasn't always a given. In 2010, I returned home from University for the holidays and was met by my Mother's meal of Instant ' Smash !' potato in a jug, with a can of cold baked beans poured on top on Xmas Day. I'd probably have enjoyed a more sufficient dinner in my Uni digs, and that is really saying something, considering how we spent the majority of the year living off £1 pizzas from Iceland, or packets of 8p Tesco Value Super Noodles. Despite that, 2010 was nowhere near as bad as the dinner I put myself through in 2016. For those who know what happened in my life in 2013, they'll understand that I never really enjoyed a Christmas again after that. I worked on Christmas Day in 2014 and 2015, at the Daily Telegraph offices in central London, and put my name down to do so again in 2016. When my boss called a week before to say I wasn'...

26th December - My 2023 Goals

Image
I was driving my partner and her friend home from a bottomless brunch a few days ago, and her friend remarked to me that she often reads this site, and was unsure on how to fill the gap in 2023 when this diary will become defunct. After all, 2023 can't be ' The Year of the Gable' , too. That would defeat the purpose. With more free time in my hands next year on account of the spare 200-odd hours (or 30 full working days) it has taken to construct these blog posts over the course of the past year (I did the maths), I will look to find alternative ways to spend my time.  I've already contacted a local piano teacher, to begin my lessons with her in 2023 and learn the craft of my Grandfather. Something I didn't tap into nearly enough when he was alive. In fact, I don't even know what happened to the giant piano he kept in his living room, or where it went following his death. But I wish I'd learned to play more than just ' No Matter What ' by Boyzone...

29th December - The MOST important life skill you'll learn

Image
I've spent much of this year musing a range of important and philosophical ideas and thoughts. Real deep analysis on human behaviour and psychology. And then sometimes I've just blogged about Kebabs. But there are a few really important takeaways which I can pass on from this year. The first is that when we talk about eating healthy, or 'being healthy', we alway focus on weight. Fat burning, weight loss, muscle gain etc etc. But one thing very few people talk about is that exercise, or eating nutritious foods, is first and foremost the biggest self-care for the mind. That is definitely something I discovered this year when comparing my moods on days when I stayed in like a slob, or days when I partook in my hourly walks. By clearing the mind and allowing yourself that period of isolation in fresh air, you are delivering a type of therapy to yourself more powerful than any self-help podcast, or life-coaching course. The second thing I've learned, thanks to both Jorda...
