I said last year that 2011 was going to be a “game changer.” Yup, I actually used “game changer” in public. In my defence, either I used it ironically or I said it before it was a cliché. Ahem. Has 2011 lived up to its hackneyed description? Let’s have a look at some of the most significant events (in no particular order):
- Setting up my photography business and actually starting to work photographing weddings!
- Attending “The Workshop” run by the awsomely-awesome Jasmine Star
- Having a great week in Cumbria, despite the rain
- Attending my first ever Grand Prix at Silverstone
- A full season of doing the Ubuntu Podcast live: the most fun season yet
- Flying to New York for Zoe and Stuart’s wedding and had a great time
- Meeting Colin Baker, John Leeson and David Gooderson
- The loss of both Nicholas Courtney and Elisabeth Sladen
- OggCamp 11: the biggest and best yet
- Attending Home Camp 4. Mmm, vietnamese food!
- Helen and Jeff’s 1920s themed wedding
- Seeing Chris in his first stage appearance in a long time
- Recording a LugRadio reunion
- The Box
- Doing very well at Puretech Racing
- Seeing Richard Herring live twice
- Visiting the Doctor Who Experience
- Completing a weekend of fun and adventure with Graham Binns to make some great images
- Getting Ubuntu membership
- Losing a couple of stone (and so far have kept it off!)
- Doing fun things with Neil and Amy: A canal boat trip, a murder mystery, a tour of Christmas lights
- Visiting and playing host to more family and friends than last year!
I’m pretty pleased with that. Getting my business up and running has taken a lot of time and meant not seeing as much of some friends as I’d have liked. I’ll work to redress that. I think 2012 will be even more eventful though. Especially as I start a new job in January…
