Happy New Year
Posted on Tuesday 1st January 2008
Greetings and best wishes to all for 2008!
This is an opportunity to reflect on what happened last year. As with the previous one I’m not going to delve into world news and politics even though some tragic events occurred, as these are covered elsewhere in far better detail. Instead here’s a more personalised Round-Up – so in 2007 I:
- upped sticks and moved to the other side of the world
- got onto an advanced training program that will see me through to specialist status
- had my first medical paper accepted for publication
- followed my first AFL season and was pleased to see my team make it to the semi-finals
- continued to push hard at the gym even without the supervision of The Machine™ and began cycling to work
- managed to keep writing this blog regularly and so stay in touch with most of you
- completed my 3rd decade on this planet – yes, the big Three-Oh today!
Regan also had an interesting year:
- starting her own business – Forrest Cultural Consulting
- making the long-haul back towards home and visiting 4 countries in 4 weeks
And finally more generally we:
- were reunited with the moggies after their incarceration in quarantine
- spent Regan’s first for 7 years and my first ever Christmas in Australia – and no, it’s not the same when it’s sunny and blazing hot!
I hope you all had a favourable 2007 too and we look forward to seeing as many of you as possible next year.
