1 Welcome: 2026
Yes, it's a world cup year! Wahoo!! New Zealand will be there this time.
2 Watching: English Premier League
Jade and Ivy visited last week. Ivy and I watched Liverpool play Leeds. Ivy was unimpressed with the football on offer, as Arsenal weren't playing.
3 Reading: Truman - David McCullough
I didn't make much progress with this book in 2025 (only 75 pages). It's not that it failed to capture my interest - it's well written (Truman won the 1993 Pulitzer Prize for Biography or Autobiography); it's more about its daunting size. So my goal since January 1st has been to read at least a page every morning in 2026 as I'm having breakfast.
4 Watched: Outlast (season 2) and Win the Wilderness
Great reality competitions on Netflix.
5 Listening: Introducing Dinah Lee (1964)
A mint copy for five dollars from Vinyl Countdown, New Plymouth.
Overtime: Dolly Parton
If you don't like the road you're walking, start paving another one.
