A busy start to the year
Sorry I know it's been ages since I wrote anything here; between working, spending time with Tom and general procrastination this thing is a pretty low priority. I'll keep this fairly concise as I'm not feeling very waffly this evening!
2014 was kicked off up here in Yorkshire with Tom which was fab, it's shame the weather was awful though as it kept us fairly housebound. Tom got me some awesome Xmas pressies including Bioshock Infinite which was fab, best game I've played in ages.
Gareth and Penny stayed over one weekend in mid-January giving us a chance to catch up and for Tom to get properly introduced to Gareth who he'd only briefly seen before. Miss those guys, wish they weren't so far south!
I won two trophies (highest score in prints and highest score in projected images) and came joint photographer of the year with two other members at the camera club which was nice. So a bit of silverware on display in the living room at the moment :) I'm now the competition secretary for projected images for the coming year, so taking on a bit more responsibility in the club. We've just ordered a very expensive new 1080p LCD projector so I'm looking forward to modernising things a bit.
Valentines the other week was nice, we had a quiet night in and I cooked us up a tasty steak and ale pie.
The big news is, owing to a sudden change in circumstances, Tom will be moving in at the end of Feb! We'd originally talked about moving in together after 12 months (so sometime after July) but then it turned out Tom's unemployed flatmate had run out of money and would be moving out within a month and the landlord had decided to sell their house and wanted them out anyway. It came as a bit of a surprise but I'm looking forward to it.
Finally as our birthdays are just a couple of days apart in April, we've decided to have a little long-weekend holiday to celebrate together. After looking at a few options we settled on Copenhagen which looks awesome and wasn't too expensive.
