We were having a reflective, reviewing chat at one of our family events this week, and everyone was talking about the major things that have happened to us all since last Christmas. I hate doing that kind of thing, almost as much as I hate doing things like vocalising affirmations and sharing platitudes (which one of Philippa's middle-aged female relatives also insisted on doing). However, it did get me to look back over the past twelve months and try to find reasons to be pleased with myself (not something I do often, or well...)
So - as we gallop towards the end of 2024, here's a few things I am proud:

Posting a blog EVERY DAY in March.
Posting a different number of blog postings in each calendar month.
Hitting more than 200 posts for the 14th year in a row!
Getting through a sticky patch with Philippa without throwing the whole thing away.
Surviving another busy Summer at work without punching an annoying customer in the face.
Helping Mathew get used to the complexities of school life.
Coping well (I think) with reaching the age of 40!
