A lot of people on Mastodon still seem to be obsessed with the bird site, source content from it or are auto cross posting. Meanwhile, I’m constantly adding to my filters to try and block any reference to it. Latest addition was adding “RT” as a keyword filter. Fingers crossed.

Apart from the great wines, one thing I really like about my wine club is that they send an email advising what wines are in the next box and give you four days to change or add. I think that’s such a great service. Being able to hit the send now button is also pretty good! 🍷

☕ Coffee has been consumed. Time to get work rolling for 2023.

Me: I’m going back to work today, will you miss me?

The Cat: 💤

A black and white cat asleep inside the box part of a scratching post. One white paw and black tail draped over the circular entry hole.

🧨 Doing a purge of things sitting in my rss reader that are never going to get read.

🚙 Washing the car to avoid sorting through the last of the storage boxes.

Dolly Parton and Miley Cyrus singing Wrecking Ball and segue into I Will Always Love You at Miley’s NYE party The way Dolly kicks in at “wrecking” shows her voice is as powerful as ever.

Icons both. 🎶

🥃 Enjoying a whisky sour and reading on my balcony. Perfect first day of the year.

Years ago I decided to only make one new year resolution. This year is to read more actual books. I’ve increasingly been reading digital books on my iPad and then get distracted opening apps and aimlessly scrolling. My intent is to immerse myself in pages, not social media.📚

After 11 days of being positive, I’ve never been so happy to start a new year on a negative note!

Hopefully it’s a sign and things are looking up for 2023! 🥳
