And the winner is...

Mid-December and I thought it might be time to hand out a few ‘Rory Awards for 2016.‘ I know the year isn’t quite nearly over yet, but the BBC are throwing out awards ceremonies left, right and centre at the moment, so who’s to stop me getting in early as well? It’s my blog and they’re my awards, so shut up and read on….
Favourite Fruit of the Year:   Seedless red grapes
This one surprised me, but I’ve had some wonderful times with these fellows this year. I’m also going against my own traditions, too. Normally I plum (nice pun) for something I’ve never tried before or get swayed by a seasonal specialty that blew me away having not had it for months. This year I’m rewarding something that is available so often that it normally flies under your radar. For sheer consistency and for versatility (2016 is the first time I’ve put grapes into salads…) these guys are worthy winners.
Best Song: 
Not a great year for music, in my opinion, but “Live” by Billie Martin takes some beating.
Most Enjoyed (and Re-Watched online) Film Trailer of the Year:  Suicide Squad
(and if you’re a male aged between 15 and 85 you’ll know exactly why)
Worst Moment at Work:
That appraisal I never told you about where someone who had never been to the garage before asked me questions about things that weren’t even applicable to our place of work and then criticised me for not understanding what he was talking about. 
Best Day of the Year: Bonfire Night 
(although I expect that to be overtaken by Christmas Eve/our anniversary)
