It's basically March and the days are finally getting longer! On Sunday, the sun was up to greet me as I made coffee. Tiny sweet peas and strawberries bud on the window sill. The flow of spring into winter feels miraculous. It's basically March and the days are finally getting longer! On Sunday, the sun was up to greet me as I made coffee.

March 2022 has been a good month for me. December-January saw me feeling very mentally strained, in retrospect because we're seeing the remnants of covid restrictions lift. personal and professional obligations are changing, and as an introvert they're drawing from an already shallow well of extrovert energy.

Three of the past four weeks have been a four-day work week. It's been wonderful. And yet still I'm posting this a week later than I'd like. The weather has been overcast, but everything in balance, even good weather. Still, _some_ rain would be nice. Three of the past four weeks have been a four-day work week. It's been wonderful.

Every year my brain tricks me. *June*, it says, *June is summer*. And every year around this time I get long daylight hours but seemingly endless wind, rain, and rarely-over-twenty temperatures. Some days have been beautiful, but many (like today) are unadventurous. I sit inside a cafe to write. Every year my brain tricks me. *June*, it says, *June is summer*.

It's been two months since [my last vibe check](/blog/2022-07-06-vibe-check-5). We've reached the bookend sub-seasons where morning, afternoon, and evening each require their own outfit. Three layers in the morning, one layer at lunch, then two layers in the evening. It's maddening. It's been two months since [my last vibe check](/blog/2022-07-06-vibe-check-5).

Winter came to Oxford in the last seven or ten days. The other day I stepped out of my house and got that _Winter in England_ smell that I forget for six months of the year, and alternately resent and treasure in for the other six. It's the smell of cold air and slow-to-wake mornings where the dew can't make it off the ground yet. Winter came to Oxford in the last seven or ten days.

I welcomed in 2023 with a board game (Ticket to Ride, got my ass served to me wholesale by my fiancée) and a double dram of The Lake's Distillery Whisky Maker's Reserve #5, which I nursed lovingly for several hours. It was quite the quiet affair.

Everyone everywhere says last year flew by. Contrarian by nature, it 2022 felt like it took about a year. January 2023, however, felt like it took about a week. I'm looking forward to the next few weeks being a more eventful, more different, and (hopefully) passing a little more slowly. Everyone everywhere says last year flew by.

I find myself writing this a full two (2!) weeks into April. It's been seventeen days since I last wrote _anything_, which feels unusual. My brain feels it: I've taken more and more detailed notes (at work, in life) in the last five-or-so days. I wrote the notes for this piece on paper at an off-grid cottage in Wales (10/10, strong recommend). I find myself writing this a full two (2!) weeks into April.

June 2023 was a pretty busy month. The company I work for went through a second round of redundancies and the software team (the team I lead) ended up being quite badly affected, and many of my colleagues were made redundant. I ended up doing a lot of mental and emotional labour going through that process with, and for, the people affected. June 2023 was a pretty busy month.

September 2023 was definitely the end of summer. As I write this, the temperature remains balmy in the twenties, but it's dark at seven-thirty in the evening, and the days take turns towards the blusterous, or rain sprayed.

December 2023's Vibe Check was started on gloomy December morning, and finished a fortnight later on cosy December night. Context changes things. Winds and rain (both freezing) stopped what *was* a mild winter. "Winter's not too bad" I thought, like someone who's never lived through a winter. We're into the worst six weeks of the year - three weeks from the solar solstice. It's dark by four in the afternoon, and that's still got to get earlier for a while.

January 2024 was a lovely month, really. We ended up celebrating a few delayed Christmases, so the festive period itself didn't tear through my stamina. It also meant that I didn't really feel The Blues, because every other week I was going to a family household and getting wined and dined. January 2024 was a lovely month, really.

January gets a bad wrap. As someone with a January birthday I try not to take it personally. I also spent the first three weeks of January 2025 intentionally between jobs - being free of work commitments, but assured of upcoming employment, I personally found this to be a most agreeable month.
