Update
I thought I could keep the update constant at a daily or weekly summary, but it became too consuming. So I will aim for a Montly summary, and if the time allows it a weekly summary.
Month summary
I kept the 1 hour practice going during the month. Even with some busy days, but it has been useful. For February I will have a new place so I hope I will have more time.
