End of year meme

Nah, can't recall most of it and refuse to copy and paste 40 odd questions up here. It's no longer a useful yardstick for me. So to summarise:

2015:

Two births to close friends (apologies if I have forgotten any)
Two friends suffering from life-threatening illness
Two deaths and two dates never to be forgotten: June 30th and October 2nd

Home front: Repairs to bathroom, lovely new log burning stove,back garden finally useable and pretty. Happy changes.

Love life: Precious and cherished.

New things done mainly come under work, not to be talked about yet.

Old things done are mainly travel to the hometown and Venice. Interesting.

Successes: Finishing things, doing my rubbishy little pilgrimage to St Antony's basilica.
Failures: Didn't get to Israel! Saw pics of Jerusalem on a friend's FB first thing, have decided to treat it as an omen,though between Oz, the wedding and Africa, it's unlikely to happen for a while...

Resolutions: More work, more exercise, and also more spiritual discipline. In fact, discipline without dullness should be my motto.

The year's themes: Growth and Redux were major. There are roses in our garden,and life is good... but for me the year belonged to this gentleman, and he can have his cheese: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PghNEN-29CQ
