Instead, I'm going to be good to myself. I'm going to get the banjo my husband bought for my birthday restrung and pick away at the chords enjoying myself just making a noise. In nice pyjamas and I’ll use pillow spray, I'm going to treat naps like the lovely duvet baths that they are. I'm going to read entirely for pleasure this year and if I do find myself unluckily reading a book that is worthy or zeitgeisty but which gives me no joy, I'm going to happily discard it halfway through. I’m going to make mine as happy as I can and, no, that probably doesn’t involve downward dog or Proust.
