in 2026, i’m starting a new list concept in an effort to share a little bit of joy that i’ve experienced every day of the year, in an effort to spread positivity and gratitude.

── JANUARY

• 01 | met up with family and had a long new years walk at sunset!
• 02 | california rain by james marriott is great
• 03 | made great food from scratch for lunch (smashed avocado and poached egg on seeded brown toast)
• 04 | continued st5 with my girlfriend over vc, it’s pretty bad but it’s fun to watch it with her
• 05 | corriedale! + my gf’s dog recognise my voice while on call
• 06 | first snowfall of the year
• 10 | impromptu football watching over lunch, turned over to watch a lower-tier club beat the current fa cup holders, and not even following the club had me emotional for their supporters and team
• 11 | chicago bears won! chelsea women won!
• 12 | booked flights to see my partner in feb, so i can finally start properly looking forward to it now. we’re seeing florence and paris paloma together at the sse arena, so i doubly can’t wait
• 13 | booked tickets for chelsea v arsenal women!
• 14 | finished my second mep part of 2026 and i’m super proud of it
• 17 | couldn’t watch CFCW’s FA cup fixture because it wasn’t being broadcast, but oomfs going to the game kindly streamed the whole match on twitter via their phones. it was making the most of a shitty decision but it was a unique and fun experience!! with commentary that’s better than the real thing, iykyk.
• 18 | finally got around to setting up my new laptop
• 24 | london derby didn’t go our way, but i had a fun day out in london nonetheless! went to westfield in shepherd’s bush en-route back home
