And with it the inevitable look back over 2007.
This year I have:
* had two bosses
* moved desk twice but still remained in the same role
* been to France on holiday twice
* eaten at KFC on at least six occasions
* had Special Curry and Chips from the local Chinese Takeaway on at least 25 occasions
* bought my first ever iPod (with lots of help from my cuz!)
* realised that I could use an iPod with a much larger capacity
* lost some weight
* put some weight on again
* been ill
* had a tooth removed (and still in pain…)
* taken my friend Chris to hospital after he got knocked down by a hit-and-run driver
* prayed regularly with Pete, Nick and Seamus. And sometimes even James!
* told my two sons to stop arguing/fighting/shouting/throwing/kicking/etc. about a bajillion times
* told Mrs G-T that I love her (but not enough times)
* not spoken enough to BabeG-T
* spent too little time asleep
* which may not have been helped by the gift of a Nintendo Wii
* bought a new washing machine, tumble drier and TV
* put TIM in for the service of a lifetime. In May. And soon he’ll be back. I hope…
* completed the Three Peaks Challenge. Yes, as crew but it was still hard work and I still got a medal!
* been to watch live Banger Racing twice. It’s great! You should do it.
* made some new friends
* regained contact with some old friends
* came top 5 in my company ‘Safe Driver of the Year’ competition
* watched every episode of Top Gear. Not all the repeats – I do have a job!
* watched every episode of The Long Way Down. It wasn’t as good as The Long Way Round though.
In the main it’s been a great year. Let’s hope 2008 is even better!
Happy New Year to you all. (And yes, I know it’s a bit early but who’s going to be sad enough to be typing up a blog entry on Hogmanay (aka New Year’s Eve)?
