…that pretty much sums it up, really.

Not the greatest photo in the world (it’s from my mobile) but nevertheless it gives at least an impression of the frozen Northamptonshire countryside during last year’s festive snow.
Thought it may be of mild interest to see what the last month’s most played tunes were my mp3 player, and provide some listening links. As it turns out, they’re an odder bunch than I expected:
1. Everything Everything – MY KZ, UR BF (Grum Remix)
2. Pacific! – Narcissus (Jagz Kooner Remix)
3. Greg Lake – I Believe In Father Christmas (Yes, really)
6. Von Haze – Outsyd Tha Nite (White Car Edit) [Salem Remix]
7. Binary Finary – 1998/99 (Eufeion Remix)
8. DJ Fade, X-Cess & G’Netic – Dreamworld
9. Rock Sugar – Don’t Stop The Sandman
10. DJ Deluxe – Venga Conmigo (Spanish Mix)
Make whatever you like out of that lot!
Perhaps my biggest regret of last year is that Rik’s Xmas Countdown was cruelly curtailed by something both unreasonable, unavoidable and unfun. No thanks to Vodafone’s entirely pointless and wrongheaded network-level permanent Youtube mobile redirect which prevented me uploading the rest via the smartphone connection I did have out among the frozen forests. The one saving grace is that it ended at No. 10, which is a nice round number and so next year can be that top ten. (Apologies to those boogie-ing along to the tunes during December.)
Still, let’s look at the good side of things; the Christmas period was an excellent opportunity to catch up with an enormous range of old friends and that is a very good reason indeed to be happy. (It was also an opportunity to cough a great deal, but let’s ignore that here.)
The start of any year is the traditional time to wistfully reflect upon 12 months of comings and goings, laughter and tears, but that’s not necessary really.
This year I have only one ambition: to make things even better.
