I’ve been sat going though my blog entries of 2009 to try and boost my memory so I can write a review of my year but 2009 was so full of death and sadness that I don’t think it would make a good review.
Of course there were some good times like our trip to Berlin and then to Hull and the various visit here by our friends. RuaidhrĂ’s 1st birthday, the birth of Saroise and the various birthday parties we attended through-out the year.
I can only hope that 2010 is better. It hasn’t started out too well to be honest but they news officially came in on New Years Eve so I’m filing it under 2009 news so at least the first five days of 2010 have been pleasant.
New Years Eve was lovely. Very civilised at the Duggans with canapes and nibbles and champagne to toast in the new year. Mother rang, wankered, at 12.30 to wish us happy new year even though when I spoke to her earlier that evening she said she’d not be calling.
New Years Day was quiet. I was at work all day, as I was the day after, and all trips out and walks have been cancelled due to the icy roads. It’s a bit of shit as one of the service users doesn’t cope well with being stuck in all day and sadly wouldn’t understand why he couldn’t go out. He got a bit tetchy in the morning after having spent the previous day inside, but seemed to calm down when I gave him some attention.
Well what was going to be a review of 2009 has turned into something else so I’ll go now and write something else later.
