2015 turns to 2016... Happy New Year!
Thursday, 31 December 2015 11:31 pmWell, it's all changing again in that staying-the-same-really way that it has - and I am blissfully having a quiet one at home. I'm gonna ramble about this year a bit though... *g*
What have I done this year? Mostly, I think, I just lived in Somerset for a bit, and didn't really do much, but I did do things... I worked with words. I worked with history. I volunteered with history. And I worked a bit more with history. Sounds better than getting more specific, that. *g* I spent three days in Cornwall, which was lovely, and a weekend in Stratford, and a meeting or two in London, and dotted about the countryside here a bit, but otherwise I kept on working. Not clever that, I've been a bit wiped out now for months and that's probably partly why. Shall do better in 2016. Plus I have my passport back - hello, world! There must be going somewhere this year - lots of it! But back to this (still) year...
( I read books! )
( I read fanfic... )
( I wrote fanfic... )
( I watched telly a bit... )
( I went to the cinema! )
What else? Not much really... oh, I learned some stuff! I learned archery, and fiddle, and started learning book-binding! So that was quite cool. The archery sadly fell off, cos Job 2 interfered, and it all got a bit lycra-shirts and how-many-laser-sights-can-you-attach-to-your-bow, which wasn't where I wanted to go with it. Glad I did it though, and hopefully in the future... *g* I'm not practicing my fiddle enough - but I'm definitely better than at the start of the year! And I've made one wee book and am halfway through binding a photo album. So cool. Oh, I began a 365 photo project, but stopped when I realised I was spending more time online as a result, rather than getting out of the house more... that was also the reason I finally gave in and got a Facebook, and to be honest I'm not overly happy about it, except for being able to follow one of my favourite writers (KJ Charles) who posts wee extras now and then. But there now, and it's tricky to back away again when there's family there, so...
Oh - I saw a comet! And a lunar eclipse! And a solar eclipse! Actually, 2015 was a pretty good year, sky-spotting-wise! *g* I even managed to catch a bit of the Milky Way on a photo, though only if you look very hard. But yeay!
( So what about 2016? )
So them's my plans. If you're still around at the end of all that - happy 2016 to you!
