Partly because I have a terrible memory
I make a big year overview of all the nice, wonderful, interesting that happened last year. Usually I will stick some papers together and with coloured pencils write / draw events in (looking back in my agenda and notebook) then add positive associations and people involved
One of the things that is definitely going in for 2023 is creating and teaching a seminar on effect research of games
What would be one of your things of 2023?

@priscillaharing I saw some amazing art this year. Incredible paintings in Milan and two stand out plays that will stay with me for a long time!
@aarblaster which plays? and what about them made them so impressive??
@priscillaharing The Crucible which is one of my all time favourites but I’d never seen live before. It was perfect. Every part of it was serving the story — wouldn’t change a thing about it.
The other was the house of Bernarda Alba which I saw last week. Brilliantly acted. Just fantastic performances.
Two shows like that added to the list of favourites ever - amazing for one year!

@aarblaster (after googling) Witches! Sounds like an intense play - nice to come away with the feeling that nothing should be changed 🙏🏻 Now you mention plays: I got to visit the Globe theatre this year and saw Midsummer with a full female cast, it was intensely weird in the best of ways 🩷
@priscillaharing yes! It’s a modern masterpiece.
Oh amazing— I headed that production was good. Was the globe lovely? There’s something wonderful about a good production there. Particularly the comedies.
@priscillaharing @aarblaster
I saw Midsummer's Night;s Dream at the Globe this summer too. That's part of what I want to take forward from 2023 into 2024, actually doing culture-y stuff, rather than thinking "wouldn't it be nice if"
@Helen50 @aarblaster me too! I bought us both a museum card last year which gives you free entry to most museums in 🇳🇱 but we haven't used it much yet..
Really takes an effort to do things outside of your normal pattern even if they are fun & interesting 💪🏻
@priscillaharing @Helen50 yes more fun. It really does take the effort. It’s so worth it though! A good reminder that it’s worthwhile.
@aarblaster the globe is fabulous - I really get a kick out of that long a history
and open to the elements!
Having a hot cheesy pie and beer while watching really rounded off the experience
Performance was excellent, light on props and decor but because the theatre itself is already such a presence I thought this was perfect
