Squint hard into the darkness and you’ll find there’s so much to feel positive about. Gwyneth Paltrow and HBO Max for starters
Ah, Blue Monday – it seems to come round quicker every year, no? For those of you not familiar with the term, it denotes the third Monday of January, which is alleged to be the most depressing day of the year. Collectively, I mean – obviously each of us has a birthday, plus a year coming up that will inescapably include bad haircuts, disappointing Vinted purchases and expensively untraceable leaks in the home. And Prue Leith’s leaving Bake Off.
Let us focus, then, on the few, brief bright spots we can – if we really squint hard into the darkness – see. There’s microplastics maybe not poisoning our every organ as thoroughly as we thought. There’s Gwyneth Paltrow announcing that she loves a 6pm dinner and early beddy-byes. That’s not quite how she put it, but that’s what she meant. Now you have a something in common with Hollywood royalty! Can a glowing skin and multimillion-dollar wellness empire be far behind?
There’s HBO Max coming to the UK in March and bringing with it The Pitt, starring Noah Wyle and honestly, this is just going to improve life – trust me.
