A happy, a healthy and a memorable 2009 and all of you and yours.
-- Moments after this photo was taken I took the short cut to the house (over the stone wall.) Forgetting that I was still half asleep and wearing footwear that was wholly inappropriate for the conditions, I stepped up onto the wall, slipped back off it again and landed on my ankle.
I am now going to spend New Year's Day on a sofa with my foot in the air.
If the opening of a year is in any way indicative of the remainder I'm going to bed - wake me up in 2010.
