So it's 2009 and since my trip to Aber was scuppered by a horrible flu, thought I'd update online.

Summer: Grandad died, graduated, turned 22, eventually cleared my overdraft.

Autumn: Started an evening course in Japanese, mom in hospital and was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, got a new car, bought a Wii, saw Dylan Moran, saw and met Dara O'Briain.

Last 2 weeks: Got made redundant from the Officers Club 2 days before Christmas but thankfully I have a new job with Matt.
Have spent the last 2 weeks worrying myself silly about everything that might go wrong and how shit I might be and the usual things my mind conjures up to stop me sleeping.
I got Monty Python fluxx from Helen for Christmas which is good fun.
Went for a flight in Gareth's share'o'plane which was awesome, hopefully can do it again when the weather is more plane-friendly!

I'd like to visit Aber again and actually catch up with people sometime maybe around Easter, unless anyone heads into the midlands before then.
Claire, how is that drafted email coming along??

That's about it...
