As is traditional in January, it’s time for the family not-resolutions! Now in the 13th year!

Explainer: At the beginning of each year, I coerce everyone into nominating 5 things they’d possibly, maybe like to accomplish in the coming year – no pressure. They are definitely not any manner of resolutions. It’s quite fun to track these across time.

I did suggest that perhaps we could stop doing them this year if everyone was no longer vibing it. There was consensus that we should continue – and that 13 wasn’t an auspicious year to end on.

So first up – Joan!

2022 review:

1. Become a cat mum
Not yet 😔

2. Reach B1 level in German
Work and lack of motivation got in the way of this

3. Find a job
I’ve had a job since February 🥳

4. Take a nice trip for my first anniversary in August
We had a city break in Riga in September which was cool. It made us want to explore more of the Baltics.

5. Sort out my photo library
Complete fail

And for 2023:

1. Cook one new dish each month
2. Paint my nails more often
3. Fill our apartment with more art and soft furnishings
4. Become a cat mum
5. Sort out my photo library
