Looking ahead to 2024
Jan: Londoners ignore the New Year Parade; the popular blog diamond geezer publishes a New Year quiz but in the afternoon when regular readers aren't expecting it; this year's Apprentice candidates are grating smug muppets
Feb: new London bus routes include the SL3 and SL5; it's the year of the Dragon; Pancake Tuesday is followed by Valentine Wednesday; oh it's quite cold
Mar: new London bus routes include the 439, 443, S2 and SL2; fares go up; everybody hates the new names for the Overground lines; damn, Easter's in March again

Aug: another council goes bust; everything's still more expensive; bills are ridiculous; mortgage rates are high but savings rates are low; waiting lists are too long; the rest of your life could be like this
Sep: mince pies are back; Hallowe'en erupts prematurely; first poppy spotted
Oct: Rishi considers holding an election; the Oxford Street decorations are up; nobody has yet manufactured a pint of wine; it's a shame she's died, I liked her
