And, just in case I don't get another chance -

This year was the year:

• I walked with and stroked a wolf.


• I went to not my first con, but my first official, not organised by fans con. And it was wicked.


• I had Sarah over to stay. We found a cave.


• I went to see Simon Amstell (at a gig).
  
• I first had Cuban food.


• I went to see Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds play live.


• I went to the Eden Project (again).


• I went on holiday to St Austell, Cornwall.


• I spent 9 hours on a train doing the above.


• I did a few film courses.


• I started listening to the Adam and Joe Show on Saturday.


• I started discovering music on the radio.


• I watched Strictly Come Dancing, properly. And loved it. Even if parts of it went a bit odd.


• I watched flamenco. That was quite good.


• I loved girls and female characters. I did before, a bit, but it feels like it was more this year. And it was quite great.


• I went to Camden.


• I went to the British Museum.


• I saw a nature documentary in the cinema, for the first time I think.


• I went to the Nottingham Riverside Festival.


• I first drank cranberry juice.


• I found Alys Power.


• I watched the Dark Knight and the Joker I LOVE YOU THE JOKER.


• I spent 6 hours in a theatre, with only a one hour break, I think. For a very good production of War and Peace. That was a bit grand.


• I first went to see a Bollywood film.


• I got a new nephew. Who is walking now.


• I started keeping plants. Some are still alive, as well.


• I had my mother over to stay in my flat. Which went pretty well.


• I built my own bookcase, as I recall. From a pack from Wilkinson's. With my OWN FAIR HANDS.


• I joined the Broadway cinema as a member.


• I went to see an ice show at the Royal Centre (The Sleeping Beauty).


• I saw a DV8 production live.


• I went to a 1940s street party, even if I didn’t get to wear my 40s costume there for very long.


• I saw China Mieville.


• I saw Swan Lake, done Chinese acrobatic-style.

These are the high points obviously, but looking back, not a terrible year.
