2009 in review: Part 1 - In Cambridge
Jan. 1st, 2010 06:01 pmSo...
I've been meaning for months to send an email to a lot of people with a general update. I started to write one...then decided the easiest way of doing it would be to make several blog posts here and link to them in the email. And this time, I'm actually going to do it (unlike my promise from a few months ago...)
So I'm going to do it thematically. First of, a little bit about my life in Cambridge thus far.
But to start, this needs to be said:
( New Year Message )
All the best wishes to everyone for 2010!
It occurs to me that I never posted on my trip with A. earlier this year to Tasmania. It seems so long ago now, and indeed it is almost a whole year. It was a good trip, which became somewhat more adventuresome than we anticipated after our car skidded off the road, up an embankment and into a tree. Luckily, we were fine. It gave the rest of our driving around the island state a rather tense edge, but we did manage to have fun. The highlight for me was our day in Port Arthur, the historic convict site. It has remained in the back of my mind as a possibility for a writing project...but not for another few years. Mainly because I was fascinated by the fact that it was an entire functioning community, and I'm intrigued to see how everyone living there (or perhaps rather imprisoned there) interacted and affected each other.
But I ramble. One day I'll get back to Port Arthur, one day.
( Life in Cambridge - cut for length )
( The garden throughout 2009 - picture heavy! )
Next entry...on dancing.
