Odd, disjointed thoughts:
1. After five years of being vegetarian I've started eating meat again. Mostly it's weird because I never learned to cook meat for myself, so I feel a bit lost in all the recipes. I was never a "moral vegetarian" just... didn't like meat. Then along came an insatiable craving for a steak, and here I am. Tastes change, it seems. Although I still don't like bacon or fish. Controversially, I feel considerably healthier for it.
2. Also on being healthy, following the vast quantities of wine consumed in December, I'm having a dry January. My bank balance and my body both approve.
3. I got the dreaded "So when are you going to have children?" over Christmas. Twice. WTF? I'm way too young for those kind of shenanigans. Besides which, I am far too attached to my 8 hours of sleep per night.
4. I learned to knit. I already made one scarf and I'm half way through two more.
4a. I've started listening to Classic FM when I'm in the bath and when I'm writing. I'm visiting friends in Sheffield at the end of the month and I'm looking forward to going for a walk in the Peak District and drinking real ales. I also read the Guardian on a daily basis. When the fuck did I get so old?
5. I wrote a Mission 101 list that I started on the 1st of January. I don't know whether I will post it here or not, but I will try to follow it. I don't know. Do you people care about reading those kind of lists?
6. I should try to come here more often, really. I'll get on that.
