New Year's resolution 2

I'd like to add one more resolution. I'll stop drinking alcohol at home before summer.
The reason of summer is because I cannot abandon two dozen special craft beers and three bottles of fine wines which are stored at home. I need to drink up them before the temperature in my flat will rise to 30 degrees that make fine wines and beers bad.
I've gone out for dinner, parties and regular bars for socialising, but not drunk at home.
I feel guilty about not buying wines at a neighbourhood wine shop. I have to say my determination to them. I've helped them since they started their business. I will try to buy groceries instead, such as olive oils, cheeses.

New Year's resolution

2024 has passed almost one month. The Chinese new year is approaching.
It's time to unveil my New Year's resolution.

I declare that the New Year's resolution is not using Japanese in the blog.
It's a big challenge for me, but I need to improve my writing.

I'm trying to apply this rule to the old posts retroactively.
My goal is to change this blog to an English blog by the end of the year.
