- January comes to a close and I’ve been studiously avoiding going to the gym because of 100k cases of ‘rona a day, so despite doing a chunk of cycling I’m feeling a bit grotty and unfit. As case numbers plateau I’m struggling with the idea of returning to group exercise like F45 (which I enjoyed at the end of 2021), but now might be the time to just Get On With It.

- There are plans slowly entering the diary for dinners, theatre visits, concerts and other things. Oh my.
- Still no Sue Gray.
