It's been a good term in many ways

It's odd how you catch yourself thinking "that wasn't much of a year" and yet this year I've...

• Left a job that was driving me nuts
  
• Got a better one
  
• Won a playwriting award
  
• Become a (slightly) published author
  
• Took a play to Edinburgh
  
• Discovered just how lovely my friends are
  
• Hired a stately home
  
• Briefly enjoyed the miracle of signing on
  
• Taken some hilarious Russian pony pills
  
• Owned a Lego monorail
  
• Made a space pirate cartoon

But...

• Not got a cat

Oh, and a brief thank you to all the men, no matter how deranged, dismissive, drunk or drop dead dishy. Wouldn't have been the same without you.
