If I’m going to do a quick review of 2009, it had better be quick, because it’s extremely 2010 now.
So, in no particular order:
- I became an uncle, when young Scott Northover came into the world
- Jen and I grew lots of vegetables in the garden - it’s not quite a baby, but it’ll do for the moment.
- We did a ton of work on our house, and now the kitchen and the room next to the kitchen are really good
- I raced in the Brompton World Championships in Oxford, for the first time, and missed my target time by one second exactly
- I did tons of work at work, and the project is (as ever) getting closer to being a) good and b) out there. Time will tell.
- I decided to start trying to take a photo every day and upload it to Flickr. The idea was to take self-portraits reflected in things. I managed to keep going for nearly two months, but I ran out of steam. I think my favourites were numbers 8, 13 and 46.
- We went to Italy for a couple of days, and it was great (even though it fucking snowed, which wasn’t really part of the plan)
- I made a lot of bread, inspired by Richard Bertinet’s book ‘Dough’, which is very good
