This year's been quite up and down.
January - Slipped over and dislocated my knee at the start of the month and was off work for 7 weeks, was pretty much housebound and generally miserable.
February - Went back to work and really struggled to get back into the swing of things.
March - Moved into our house. Very stressful affair but was worth it and I'm never moving again. Went to London to celebrate Curiosity & Mogwai's birthdays.
April - Had friends to stay for Myp's birthday and watched Myp play football in a charity match at Notts County's ground. I nearly burst with pride.
May - Went to Bearded Theory festival and nearly died of coldness. Went to see Armin Van Buuren at the end of the month. Awesome doesn't even begin to describe it
June - Slipped over on a wet floor and fucked my knee up again, worse than in January. Only had two weeks off work and struggled into work on crutches, against my Doctor's advice, as I felt guilty about having any more time off work.
July - Went to London for Ben and Jerry's Festival. It was the hottest day of the year and really put me in the festival mood.
August - Went to Big Chill festival. I wasn't impressed with the music or my behaviour, but I made some new friends and built up existing friendships. Oh and saw no bands/DJs/comedians all weekend. Oh and we had some strange people from the internet come and stay at our house.
September - Went on the most windy, miserable camping holiday to Weymouth to celebrate my birthday. We were camped a stones throw away from Chesil Beach and our tent had to be rescued by the campsite staff one day while we were out. It's funny to look back on now but at the time I actually thought we were going to die and all of our stuff be ruined. Still, we had fun
October - Quite a quiet month, with only a visit from the inlaws of any note.
November - My guinea pig Amy died
The wedding of two of our best friends in London and meeting more of you lot at Shunt. Also went to see Mighty Boosh and bought a new guinea pig.
December - Various Christmas parties and a Christmas holiday split between Nottingham and Southampton.
Overall I'd give the year 6/10. I've made some new friends, improved existing friendships and got rid of some of the deadwood.
2009 should be good, with my hen party in May, our wedding in July and honeymoon in October.
