The best laid plans of mice and men..
So, on Sunday I was supposed to be competing in my second ever strongwoman competition.

Yes, a ukulele you read that right! Well actually, to be completely accurate, 2 ukuleles, but that is beside the point!

Janathon 2022: Days 2 & 3
The beginning of January is a strange time, I sort of end up feeling like the year doesn’t actually start until I go back to work.
