Frosts and forests, coinage and coffee! A few personal highlights from January 2024, captured in tiny wee snapshots.
This is my latest monthly selection of snapshots of things that caught my eye over these past few weeks, comprising the month of January 2024.
Saturday 30 December 2023: Unexpected coinage
Rewinding slightly to the very end of last year (as this happened a few days after my December 2023 snapshot round-up), I was delighted to find £1.23 while out braving the frankly disagreeable elements for a morning stroll.
Tuesday 2 January 2024: Pleased to make your acquaintance!
2024 marks my first full year working as an HR data, research and content solutions consultant. So I thought I would kick off this newest of years with a little post of introduction (or re-introduction) to who I am and what I don LinkedIn. You can read it here. And do please feel free to drop me a line on LinkedIn, should you feel so inclined!
Saturday 6 January 2024: Purity
“Words have a purity and precision all their own.”
Some words from my first piece of bloggage for 2024, entitled Purity.
Monday 8 January 2024: The seeds of tomorrow’s spuds
My 2024 seed potatoes have arrived in today’s post – so let chitting commence!
Tuesday 9 January 2024: Frozen forest
Frozen forest scenes.
This picture is not successful in conveying just how staggeringly cold it was out there!
Wednesday 10 January 2024: Rays that promise warmth
Frozen sunrise.
Saturday 13 January 2024: One change…
“What one change would make the biggest improvement to your life, or to the lives of those you love, or to the general good of the world? Is there anything that you can do to help make this change a reality?”
I posed these questions in my blog post What results do you expect?
Tuesday 16 January 2024: Aglint
Frost on glass, glinting in the winter sun’s rays.
Friday 19 January 2024: So very nearly warm
A welcome spot of almost warm winter sun illuminates the forest.
Saturday 20 January 2024: No dark without light
In my post No dark without light, I present my foreword to the latest book from my friend Bryan Wempen. Your own path is there for you to discover.
Thursday 25 January 2024: Piccadilly espresso
Decided it was high time I brought my Piccadilly Circus espresso cup back into action.
Cheers!
