As I Xi It

So, here we are, coming to the end of 2010 and time for yet another retrospective review of the year gone by.

One of the main ambitions of this year was the 12 hols in 12 months project, however, it had to be abandoned in November due to lack of time, and to some degree, funds. Instead of 12 hols in 12 months, it’s become 9 hols in 9 months. Not very catchy. It would’ve been better had it been 10 hols in 10 months, 10′s a nice and round number.

It seemed pretty appropriate to select snowy pics from Richmond Park to start and end 2010.

I picked up a Spork today. Simple, light and oh so useful. Well, I perceive it to be useful otherwise why would I have brought it? I guess I can now leave my metal camp cutlery behind. Incidently, it’s made in Sweden much like the Fold-a-Cup I picked up while I was in Abisko, Sweden earlier this year. I didn’t intend to go with a Swedish theme. I brought it in yellow just because it’d be easier to find should it wander around my cavernous backpack.

Naturally, it had to be to one of Abba’s hits.

Here’s something I cut together to the original Ski Sunday* theme tune.
