It's meant to be the most depressing day of the year today. You can wallow in it with the very depressing Oliver James - or you can confront your demon. And here's where I found him, in Room 33 at the British Museum:
….a very disapproving Chinese demon, with a very good reason to be disapproving: those are your documented sins he's holding under his left arm, and there are a lot of them.
Not helping? OK, try this. If today is the most depressing day of the year, then tomorrow is less depressing. Ipso facto. Things can only improve. You've reached the bottom: now you're on your way up.
Feeling better? You're welcome.
