The fish and chips place near my work had an ambulance call today, police as well.

The fish got battered?*


*I'll be expecting a knighthood next year for that one...

Must confess I thought the previous avatar (sat on a ridge top, staring into the beauty) one of my drivers for logging on to CycleChat (in a nonstalkerish way obvs).

I'll probably go back to that one once my petty sense of humour wears itself out!

So my birthday year draws to an end, just one more meal out and a party to go. I've kept a box of memories with ticket stubs and paperwork as well as marking off everything we have done on a calendar, so here are the totals:

Comedians seen: 62
Bands seen: 17
Plays seen: 1
Cinema visits: 4
Meals out: 20

Trips abroad: 3
Airports visited: 8

Time spent under water: 3h25m

Wild Orang Utans spotted: 2

Times in Rocky's company: 2
Picnics with CCers: 1
Times I got annoyed at Vernon for dying before I met him: Several

I have also done a weather forecast at the BBC, attended a lecture at the Royal Institution, been to three families parties, drank Adnams in Southwold and bought a car that makes me happy when I drive it.

Highlights of my year in three pictures:

That will do

That's a fantastic year.... lots of memories to look back on and treasure! I've got nothing really planned for my year... I'm not good at plans, I'm always a last minute, I meant to do it sort of person. I'm hoping for a couple of little holidays this year but other than that nothing major planned!

I have just written two thank you notes with my new fountain pen.

Adorable! Are they going to be providing you with eggs one day soon?

Apparently quite quickly! But incredibly small ones... next time don't let the teenager choose the breed! They have a lovely chatter, but it's a bit like having kids again, checking in on them, is their temperature correct and cleaning up after them!

Happy New Year everyone. Best wishes for 2017.

(I get to say it first)

Happy New Year to you too

I have just written two thank you notes with my new fountain pen.

What colour ink is in this year? I always use black.

I give up.

I set out to do something every week, some things were small, like walking somewhere we've not been before, or having lunch in a new pub. Big or small it doesn't matter as long as you make an effort to collect good memories

I will try my best to follow your excellent example

Went to the shops to buy screenwash and lemonade on the way to pick up the girls, and twinged my back!
