Overview
Daniel returned to England roughly one week prior after living for about four months in Rotterdam, Netherlands, following a post-Christmas breakup with Mila in an area characterized by £1,200 monthly rent and frequent police raids.
Daniel reflected on a twelve-year recurring pattern of loneliness at home, traveling abroad to be near a partner, experiencing homesickness, and returning home after relationships fail, including a 2011 relationship, a 2020 divorce, and the recent split, tied to partners feeling disconnected and Daniel struggling to show interest in personal anecdotes rather than brief, technical, or scientific topics.
Back at the garden, Daniel surveyed the empty space where an unstable wooden shed built by Daniel's granddad was dismantled, noted remnants and metal panels, and found that a previously dug garden hole had been filled in by uncles over safety concerns, which Daniel planned to dig deeper again.
Stepping outside for the first time in a week in freezing, wet conditions, Daniel observed lockdown traffic, checked the pond and an iPhone 12 camera, left interior house changes for an upcoming video, and headed back inside to play Rainbow Six.
