tis the season to be wary

What is it about this time of year?

Last year I was falling off a wall onto my ankle (which, incidentally, has yet to heal fully); and this year I managed to snag a particularly sharp bit of my thumb nail on my forehead and gouge out a three inch strip of skin.

Who disfigures themselves taking off a T-shirt?!

I’m going to bed - wake me up in 2011!

happy new year

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.

early 2007

looks very similar to late 2006
