September was fun; I had stuff on most weekends: a garden party, stag do, even a weekend away with the walking group. Rather than having to "ease myself into the rhythm", it almost felt like an extension of the summer.

As for September 2026, I'd like it to be unhurried. I don't want September to go too fast, as I'd like to make the most of what remains of the light evenings, and I don't want to be rushing between appointments either.

I'll use this picture to reflect the rhythm of September; still willing to have fun, not hurried or anything, just enjoying myself.

May 2025 was good; it helped that I was able to go out in the evening, have walks, and spend time with friends, mostly through trips to play pool, sing karaoke, and even visit the theatre. I wasn't just sitting in front of the TV acting like a couch potato.

I very much expect to have an adventurous May 2026, because of some plans that I have at the start of the month.

Okay, so this isn't a picture of me, but this picture feels like it represents the mood of May 2025; quite chilled out, not overly busy, just having fun. That dude Aaron, and I do follow him on Instagram.

March was tough at times, disappointment when a mate said he might come along to something and never did, some shock news about the death of someone I went to school with. What gave me a sense of lightness was probably just being able to get away from my own thoughts and get out hiking with others. The Indie disco that I attended early on in the month was good for taking my mind off other things, and a brief chat with a man called Johnny who was busking in the street (love it sometimes when a stranger wants to be on first name terms right away, if I'm in the right mindset anyway).

As for how I want to feel in March 2026, how about clear? Clear-headed, and clear in what I want to do this coming Spring.

Maybe this sums up my March mood — just looking forward to what is to come.

Turned out all right really, one social postponed by a friend, and I was forced to cancel attending another one. The fact that I made a bunch of plans with friends that I was able to stick to helped, particularly Taskmaster, and the pool session that we had at the end of the month.

There was also the surprise birthday cake at church.

As for next February, I'd definitely like it to be warmer; the warmer the better.

This looks like one I took while out hiking at the start of the month.
