This year I have...
bought a big Italian motorbike.
bought an equally large Japanese motorbike.
ridden them both quite a lot.
not won the lottery.
had a few brief sojourns around and about.
discovered that Northern Belgium is rather flat and full of war memorials.
found that Southern Belgium isn't so bad.
learned that the ring-road around Lille is a nightmare in rush-hour.
found my ability to speak French is shockingly poor.
learned that regardless of the booking slot on Eurotunnel you can turn up whenever you want without being penalised.
found that camping next to a river is very pretty, but is very damp during the night.
got heavier.
really enjoyed making loud noises with motorbikes while hooning through tunnels.
not travelled enough.
been to Twickenham and watched the Premiership Final between Saracens and Leicester.
learned how to fix punctures on a large Italian motorcycle.
bought a new pair of glasses for the first time in almost a decade.
wussed out of having laser eye treatment.
stopped feeling as anxious about work as I did twelve months ago.
learned to let things go.
enjoyed the less expensive things.
discovered that rabbits like chocolate.
drank more decent, filtered coffee than ever before.
decided that taking over the world is no longer a career option.
