New Year, introverts – and sleep

Hello, and welcome to the Diary Days & Dates newsletter for paid subscribers. It follows on from the free-every-Friday edition to cover the next six months: Monday 18 August to Monday 5 January, or Pinot Noir Day to the twelfth of the 12 days of Christmas ('drummers drumming').

This week, I bunked off to the beach (in the UK) when the first day of a work booking was postponed, began a batch of limoncello, and developed a very sore throat.

Thank you for the support you give me by being a paid subscriber: it’s really appreciated, and enables me to create better newsletters – for all subscribers.

If you know someone else who’d like Diary Days & Dates, you could give them a gift subscription.

Want a customised calendar?

Sick of scrolling past irrelevant (to you) dates in these newsletters? I can create a customised calendar focused on your chosen subject area: £60 for a six-month calendar; £100 for a full year. I’ve done this for individual subscribers, the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, a couple of charities and an NHS team. Health, fashion, drinks, environment… Tell me what you want…
