Review of the year
It’s got to that time of the year where papers, blogs, radio shows, everyone, does a retrospective of the year. I’ve done my own. I’ve pulled out some of my better, more interesting, stupid or plain odd posts from the last year and chucked them all here.
January: I sit home, worrying about my family in Kenya
February: Misplaced hope that a power-sharing deal would actually mean Kenya would move forward.
March: Initial signs that all is not well with N. I contemplate getting a Mr Mop. I lose all respect for men who salsa. I lay down the rules.
April: I drool over good looking rugby men. I wonder how anyone can condone incest. I am branded. Wednesday miscellany starts. I try and train the men of the world.
May: I get serious about drugs and write a self help book.
June: I take people driving in Kenya and make up a new legend. I also examine living in sin.
July: My stream of consciousness takes over and I write a completely generic post. LizSara challenges me with slightly odd consequences. I decide I hate estate agents.
August: I get worried and it doesn’t seem to get better.
September: I realise I’m a loser. I take the world on a tour or Cow Towers. I make up my own meme.
October: I decide to fight and teach the world how to host a good dinner party. I start thinking. Want to stalk me? Look no further.
November: I give N some space. I have a rant about manners.
December: I forget to write things down. The first nuttycow competition opens (still time). Christmas isn’t all it could be.
I’ve been thinking about all your kind comments from my Christmas day post. I haven’t quite got round to sorting out how to respond yet but I’d like to thank you all for caring enough to leave a couple of words – believe it or not, just the thought that there’s someone out there bothered enough to write something cheers me up. I know anyone’s initial reaction to the past year would be “leave him” but sadly, as I’m sure some of you will realise, it’s not as easy as that. You may think I’m weak, stupid, pathetic, all of the above. Believe me, I’m not. I’m just trying to look at the bigger picture. Sometimes it just gets a bit more blurred.
I hope things pick up for you in the New Year xx
‘Leave him’ is a pointless comment to make. No one has ever followed that kind of advice that I know of!
2009 will automatically be better because after two years of saying ‘we must meet up for a drink’ we are going to.
It says so in the Christmas card so it must be true.

Hey – there’s only one person who can work out what you need to do, and that’s you.
Hope things get better, whatever you choose.

Have I ever thanked you for keeping this blog? I should have done so many times. Thank you.
Happy New Year Nutty.. I hope you get clarity and vision on what you want and what makes you happy. All I’d say is don’t spend too long making a decision and missing out on the rest of your life..
Have been there so know what I’m talking about!!
