Sport
On a wider view in January saw both highs and lows with Washington Football Team defying their horror 1-5 start to win the division despite a 7-9 record with a 20-14 win over Philadelphia Eagles before exiting at the Super Wildcard Playoffs stage to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (31-23).
Liverpool's month began with a 1-0 loss at Southampton before improving with a 4-1 Emirates FA Cup 3rd Rd win over Aston Villa. Form dipped from there though with a 0-0 PL draw with Man United and 3-2 FA Cup 4th round loss to them sandwiching a 1-0 home loss to Burnley which ended the long standing Anfield unbeaten record of almost four years. The month ended on a high though with two 3-1 wins in the capital over Tottenham and West Ham United.
Usually, the new Super League season would have begun by now or would be due to begin this week but of course in the current situation, it is still planned for mid March and no idea of if any fans will be allowed by then as at Wigan, the renewal of Season Tickets hasn't even began yet so who knows what the future holds.
Life
Due to the lockdown, personal life has been limited to home based activities with the Countdown Weights reaching 110 a round midway through the month with the next milestone of 200,000 total lifts reached on the 28th. The other type of weight is still higher than I would like it to be with being at around 129kgs but hopefully once things go back to a new normal, exercise will move to its previous high levels.
The new year also saw my cursed run continue female friends wise with a long standing friend of over a year simply no longer replying and a couple of newly connected friends in December doing the same so in online terms, I have two close female friends, one based here in the UK and my longest of all time based in the USA with hopes of reaching two years in June.
Alike previous years, January has seen the crafting from Christmas gifts continue with the LFC bus and Santa built and the LEGO Minifigures puzzles making good progress as seen in the highlights below.
Gaming
A huge boost last year when sport reduced and has continued that into a superb start to 2021 aided by the Microsoft Rewards 10k and True Achievements Warboats challenges. A best ever month stats wise saw 376 achievements, 23693 TA points (decreased due to points changes) and 20085 G, more details can be seen in the Xbox Achievement Adventure January Summary.
As the month has been homebased, highlights are limited but a few are shown below.
