Career

• Still a civil servant though the work that I do now has diversified to an almost unsustainable degree, of note the work I've done for the cabinet office, imperial cancer research, Diversity and equality and the NIO

• Still on work got 27 rejection letters for internal promotion opportunities, perhaps the most recent one telling me that if a job comes up in the next six months it's mine.

• Finally got recognized for all the work that I do and how good I am at it by getting temporary promoted and given responsibility for more Intranet sites

• Got offered 2 jobs in Leeds, one in Manchester and one in Geneva 

Travel.

• Been all over the place with work, no where glamorous (Sheffield in February...theres an image)
• Been back home twice, first time was the best time I'd been home in Nine years. Second time was good but made me want to explode
• Not really travel but overcame my fear of Sunderland, good to see familiar faces in familiar places

Gigs

• Snow patrol in Leeds
• Cruxshadows
• Adfinium

And some other's I can't remember 

Personal
In the best place to be most of the time. Just by being me, which has got lost in the We of all my long term relationships
My mates, all of them have come up trumps, I really don't deserve to know such a decent group of people
