Notes on a Gregorian year

Culinary skills acquired:
  • whetstone use (after a fashion)
  • baby's first marmalade
  • Kardemummebullar
  • cheese-making! (paneer; an ambition for the next year is mozzarella)
  • pasta (gosh but wrangling the machine is An Adventure)
  • macarons (via the magic of Italian meringue)


Miscellaneous other skills acquired:
  • finished the Duolingo Turkish tree
  • seriously levelled up in hair-dying skills (including managing a pretty good rendition of this general principle on a friend with a hair type I hadn't previously bleached or dyed, but I'm also pretty pleased with a peacock-shades oil slick, and Adam's current rainbow gradient from roots to ends)
  • submitted baby's first first-author paper, with Significant General Academic Progress, particularly with respect to Having Boundaries
  • acquired a physio/exercise regime that works for me (and then promptly let it lapse, but having acquired the principles I can come back to them)
  • substantially levelled up in technical writing on a reasonable and sustainable schedule
  • so. much. emotional. regulation.
