This Year

Moving house in the snow and ice
Fleeting poorly paid but gratefully accepted employment in a very cold office, wearing wool socks
Unemployment - official. Fortnightly and later weekly visits to the dispiriting Jobcentre ('plus' as it is hopefully called...)
Long slow days
Learning the views from the house
Keeping going and more keeping going
Hearing myself say I can't afford to do things again and again
Discovering Edinburgh
Camping in Pembrokeshire and a small spirit of adventure
Poetry refuses to die
Some work some precious work
Self-employment - official
Snow and ice
Thaw
Kind friends and the most loyal partner ever
Goodbye 2010

That actually sounds very stimulating, though not all precisely good...

I can't think what I've done with last year except become 60 and done lots of marking.

Hope 2011 is wonderful for you.
