‘January, sick and tired you’ve been hanging on me’. So sang Scottish pop warblers Pilot back in the 70s, and I know how they felt.
The festive season is over and done, and the long slide through the year’s most miserable month begins. It’s a procession of dismal, dreary, dank days, each one of which gives way to a long, dark, cold night. There’s pissing rain and sleet, bitter wind and gales, snow, fog and ice. There are freezing hands, feet, noses and ears. Don’t forget coughs, colds and flu. It’s a cornucopia of delights.
And yet there are those who’ll tell you how much they like this time of year; ‘oooh, I love to draw the curtains, make a big pot of tea, and snuggle down in front of the fire to watch Emmerdale and Corrie’.
As the wife would say, ‘get tae fuck’. I can feel a bad attack of SAD creeping over me like a suffocating blanket. If I was a bear, I’d be hibernating for six months. The winter sucks. That goes double for January.

January is like the Monday of the year. I’ve always hated Tuesdays more, so tend to agree with you.
Roll on Spring!

Finished work at dinnertime.
The snowdrops are starting to come out.
Daffodils coming out.
Sat with me boots off
Dog snoring
Watching kidnapped
Starring Michael Caine a childhood favourite,
Big fleece blanket over me
And corned beef hash in the oven.
3 tins of John smith smooth bitter for pudding.
Its a fine life!
January cant beat me!
I took it by the scruff of the neck and made it yeild.
