50 books is loads. Swap nighttime netflix for reading and i'm sure it's doable though. Blonde needs a book thread!

Sign up for audible.  50 books is then easy.

Definitely recommend some classic fiction. Whether you read them for broadening your view of the world, for seeing a different sort of analysis or purely just for stories and a release, you can't beat a good book.

As much as audible books will give you volume and can't be a bad thing, you get a more complete experience from reading the words yourself.

What I love about this diary is how intensely you pursue your goals. In a year's time, you could be writing like Hardy, the nineteenth century BITB:

"Meanwhile, the trees were just as green as before; the birds sang and the sun shone as clearly now as ever. The familiar surroundings had not darkened because of her grief, nor sickened because of her pain.

She might have seen that what had bowed her head so profoundly -the thought of the world's concern at her situation- was found on an illusion. She was not an existence, an experience, a passion, a structure of sensations, to anybody but herself"

decent Sunday. 4th in $109 on Starsm 5th in $600 on 888, 8th in $500 on Party all for decent amounts and then 2nd in the Sonic for $18k.

Driving to London in 4 hours! No internet till January 10th, which is pretty ridiculous, apparently "open reach" or something needs to come and install something and thats the quickest time?

A 4G dongle/hotspot will do you proud in the interim. The 4G at our home is quicker than our wired Sky internet connection!!

Half settled in to the new house. Van is driving from Budapest overnight tomorrow with all our stuff, house still a little empty. Have had no tv/internet, but managed to buy a 4g hotspot (shout out Ed G for recommendation Wink)

Today woke up 7am, had breakfast at home, huge walk around Bushy park with gf/dog. Park really is something else, lots of deer and wildlife, pretty epic. Went for Sunday lunch at The Three Kings which is cosy + good food. Loaded some tables up but set up is still in Hungary and was tired from being up early. Regged until 7ish instead of 12ish like normal and got a 3rd in 82 6max and 2nd in 320 6max for around 7.5k, so good start to the year.

Wrote an end of year review and will post tomorrow at some point.

Happy New Year all.

Bush park is great! My girlfriend lives in West Mosley so literally around the corner and we often go for a walk around there, and watch the deer stop traffic!
Some nice restaurants in Kingston, really good steak place. If you're into your history then definitely have a look around Hampton Court too.
