01. This little guy – both fun and devastating on NYE… (I was sucked in by the pretty bottle and referred to The Madrusan Cocktail Companion for a suitable cocktail, which was the potent Mezcaletti).

02. I’ve finally started my Bennington Project. I had planned to do it last year but didn’t (see no.4 below)… Jenny popping up again in this space has prompted action.

03. Started my 26 in 26 list. It’s nowhere near populated yet but I’m getting there.

04. Related: how did I go on my 25 in 25 list? I completed nine things, and got a further seven partially done. As a result, I did some things that I had been procrastinating about (such as upgrading my professional registration – was loads of paperwork); did some really fun things (attended lots of film festivals, and locked in a monthly sandwich schedule with my friend, Sam); and also started some new regular activities that hopefully turn into habits.

05. During Bennington Project reading, I was reminded of this gripping article – Who is the Bad Art Friend? by Robert Kolker. It prompted me to find out what happened in the end (spoiler: Larson won the legal case!).

06. Watching: The Feud (Disney) – oh yes, this is good.

07. Cooking: smashed potato salad; pâté and caramelised onion fingers (the bread slicer came into its own); smoked trout on crispy wonton wrappers; and easy triple-chocolate brownies.

08. Delicious things: Piccolina’s Black Forest gelato; and scallop sandos paired with the very refreshing Hibiscus Swizzle cocktail from Dessous.
