Really tough this blogging thing. It hardly seems possible that it’s a whole year since I last put finger to keyboard, but it is, and in the true spirit of Groundhog Day the past 12 months almost mirrored the previous 12, (commuting, risk of redundancy, new job). I guess that’s the problem with getting older, there’s so much you’ve seen before and very little that’s really new.
So what’s prompted the sudden urge to share my innermost thoughts with the world (or at least the few who are lucky enough to stumble across my postings)?
To be honest it’s no one thing, more the onset of the latest mid-life crisis. Having burned up 2 score and 10 of my allotted 3 score and ten there’s more behind than in front (and no I don’t mean my backside) and the feeling that I really ought to be doing something to leave a mark. I’ve been meaning to start again for some time now, but just could not get round to it, but the resurrection of my Acer netbook (thanks Sam), and the onset of summer has got me inspired.
So let’s throw off the gloom bonnet and start to do a bit of sharing.
First and biggest has to be the promotion of the Canaries back to where they belong in the Premier League. Fantastic back to back promotions and we’ve gone from the ignominy of League One to the best league in the World (probably). Another momentous event was me passing my half century. Strange how when I younger, people seemed old at 30 or 40, and positively ancient at 50. Now I’m on the other side, we actually seem quite young. That’s something I’m going to explore in more detail in a later blog, kids today huh? Bloody Hell!
Late last year we celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary, which has to be worth some sort of mention in these days of divorce and separation. In true married couple fashion, Sandra got her present before the day and I only got mine 6 weeks ago! Still, I got a new camera (Fuji S4000 if anyone is interested) which has to be worth being married 25 years for. To see some of my better efforts follow this link to the MyFinePix site, I’ve also added a few below.
Now I’ve broken the writers block hopefully I’ll be back in a few days with something a bit more coherent.
