flop! happy new wotsit
Now I was going to post at end of last year and then I fortgot me password arrghh!
So 08 it came it now gone, what did I do, not a lot it seems, I did get to 2 Whitby's I did get to Scotland, I didn't have my June holiday as I decided to suffer the plague that weekend I was due to travel down to London ... I did get to see the Alarm twice and a few gigs at the end of the year namely Amanda Palmer, The Damned, Stiff Little Fingers and a couple of others
But really 08 was dominated by work as from May the team had people off on long term sick so at one point there were 3 of us as opposed to the should be 10! We still have 2 off on long term sick but with new recruits things look better (hopefully)
- I walked lots and managed to do my 4 miles on average every day the longest was 14 miles twice the shortest was under 2 miles on the most foul weathered day whilst attending a friends wedding near Robin Hoods Bay ...
- I spent too much time building UK Goth List there has been lots of work on that in the last 6 weeks and a new look to some section and others to be adapted - go have a look at the "best" and most up to date Goth and Alternative club listing currently on line (84 and rising!)
So what to 09 - hoping for a quieter working year for one. Aim to keep the walking going, going to try to be more sociable and see people (08 was not really good for that) - aiming to organise a couple of "Goth Mobs" aka picnic meet up type things with added stuff! First trip of year planned is the Alarm Gathering in Wales at the end of this month. Tickets for Killers at Arena are lurking in the house for March. Whitby for October is booked up with cottage deposit paid for the same place as last time. April Whitby not sure on. We have 2 wedding invites so far for the year.
So I hope everyone has shaken free of 08 - for some it was a crap year, for some a year of change, some a busy year and some a good year ... heres 09 brings to you whatever you wnt / need it to be ..
