The Big Debate: When Do You Take Your Decorations Down?
I thought I'd start the year with a fist fight. So: when do you take your Christmas tree and all the decorations down? There is a phenomenon that unfolds in front of my eyes on social media every year, usually starting some time in November. Several people will post pictures of their beautifully decorated trees, and seem to be almost gloating in how much they delight in it all. I sometimes think a few of them are playing chicken, seeing how far they can push it, or doing it just to wind other people up.

Eff You, January Gloom
With the deccies coming down today/tomorrow, some of you will be relieved it's all over for another year. But if you're like me, the start of a new year is a bit depressing. January is just a slightly shit month. Payday always seems a long way away. Back to work. Everyone is on a diet. The anticlimax after Christmas doesn't help. Winter darkness is no longer punctuated and warmed by twinkling fairy lights. Most of the food gone, and here I am, feeling heavy and dull and slow and grey. It's a month of drizzle and concrete and blahhh.

Dead End
Saturday morning, at the scene of the cri death The TV is showing static, as if it had been left on a late-night channel and nobody turned it off. That is, in fact, exactly what happened. The light was left on, and a takeaway box has been left on the table.

One Day, I Just Disappeared
Four years old The first time I woke up invisible, I thought I was dreaming. I'd had lots of real-seeming dreams just like it. I played with my toys and it looked like they were moving about by themselves. I giggled. My voice was invisible, too.

My If-ffiness
Another great idea by Rick! You can read his piece here: Here are my responses... If I were a rich person I would be free. Free of debt. Free to travel, if I wanted. I probably wouldn't want, but I'd be free to. That's the thing. Free to live anywhere I wanted. Free to write. So many hours freed up every day to think, dream, create, polish. These are the stories I tell myself about money and I wonder how true they are. I think of Jacob Marley with his long chain and I wonder if that isn't the most perfect bit of financial propaganda in 200 years.

A New Beginning. Top Story - January 2024.
Bright white nothing. Blinking against the glare, I willed my churning guts to still. Chewed my lip, wiped my sweaty palms on my trousers. I'd never been on a spaceship before. I tried not to stare around me (not that there was anything to look at) but this left nowhere for my gaze to rest but on his(?) huge black eyes.
