THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS - 2006
* Went cruising round Barbados, Antigua, Dominica, Grenada, Isla Margerita & Tobago where we snorkelled, rode speed boats and rubbed shoulders with the best of them
* Ran my first Half Marathon (13.1 miles) in Bath for the British Heart Foundation
* Was a scab & crossed a picket line
* Went to the big smoke for a Diane Arbus exhibition & witnessed another Cirque du Soliel "spectacular, spectacular"
* Ran the Bath Race for Life for Cancer Research (5km)
* Won £70 on the Grand National thanks to Niles "Slippers" Madden
* Went to Belfast and the beautiful Northern Irish Coast (Port Rush) and saw the Giant's Causeway, got certified as an official taster at the Bushmills distillery and survived the Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge:
* Joined a gym and started a personal training plan
* Ran the Bristol Heart's First Run (2.5 miles) round the harbour for the BHF
* Developed a liking for sushi
* Saw Amelie Mauresmo and Justine Henin-Hardine play on Wimbledon's No 1 Court ("sssshhh, quiet, please")
* Witnessed my first Polo Match - vicious, yet beautiful
* Narrowly escaped death on the M4. Nuff said.
* Said goodbye to a terrific 2nd cousin - age 11 & realised what a fantastic family I have
* Applied for the London Marathon (and failed - this time)
* Ran the Bristol Half Marathon for Demelza House Hospice
* Had family to visit from Oz - and realised what a fantastic family I have
* Celebrated an eighth anniversary
* Went to Tunisia, stayed in the Sahara, learnt more about Islam & rode on a Dromedary
* Developed a liking for Brik, Harissa, Boukha, Thibarine & Mornag Wine
* Got over an irrational fear of flying (now the fear is entirely rational)
* Developed a liking for Sake
* Joined a running club
& read at least 8 books (that's eight more than usual)
# Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight: An African Childhood
# Scribbling the Cat: Travels with an African Soldier
# Four Fires
# Tsotsi
# The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time: Adult Edition
# Small Island
# A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian
# The Kite Runner
Super. I'm looking forward to 2007 already...
