(no subject)

A year over, another one started. In a mood of contemplation, I'm going to hammer out some of what I think of the year just ended.

So, what have I done this year?
I finished my master's thesis
I organised a reading for the Glasgow SF Writers' Circle
I took part in two convention panels at Eastercon
I took a ride on a sailing ship to see wildlife
I moved house (yet again)
I visited Avebury
I went to several excellent concerts
I cooked some good food
I spent some good times with my friends
I went dancing
I kept my job and in the doing, made some positive contributions to the environment

( And what I think of all that... )

( ...on reading )

( ...and a kiss now and again )

So over Christmas and Hogmanay, I had a lot of fun at some good parties courtesy of psychochicken, Chris, Al and other motley crews.

I'm a happier man than I have been in perhaps ten years, I have good friends, a good job, a nice flat. Money's tight, but that is improving. Here's to my fortieth year.
