For those of you that have maintained interest in this little blog of mine (or, more accurately, these multiple little blogs of mine) for the few years that I have attempted to keep them up, this blog post must by now seem to be an expected, annual tradition.

Or, possibly, more frequent than annual, as I am well aware that every time I have a long, relaxing, thoughtful bath and decide to enter yet another short-lived phase of self improvement the first thing I do is write a blog post proclaiming my goals to write a post every week, or some nonsense like that.

So.

Here we are again.

And of course, typically, I am writing this when I should be writing an essay (sorry mum, I do work sometimes, I swear) so my promises are coming from a brain that would much rather being doing anything that isn’t describing why Paris is a capital of modernity.

Nonetheless, with the New Year in full swing already (look, let’s just say nothing counted as 2020 until I got back to uni, please), here I am (once again!) pledging to keep this god-damned blog updated.

So, who knows, expect some of those reviews of tourist attractions in Nagoya that I should have written over a year ago (I know, I’m awful, that’s what this whole post is about) on my other blog, maybe some nonsense here (look I still do not know what this blog is supposed to be about – I certainly don’t get out enough to call it a ‘lifestyle blog’, whatever that means), and, if we’re really lucky I might start doing gig reviews again on that long-forgotten music blog, if any kind soul wants to fund me going to gigs (just a suggestion).

And a random photo of my dog because otherwise the blog looks super plain, and who doesn’t love pictures of dogs?
