When I picture the rhythm of the year I tend to picture Not Bloody Much in the cold months and a fair bit more for the rest. This is because I hate the cold and am generally inclined to hibernate. Once again, the value of doing these lists is that I can actually scroll through them and see that, really, this is just a picture in my head and not actually reality, but, in 2024...
