And so this is the bit where I do one of those long reflective blogs about my past year and my hopes for the future, new years resolutions, right?

Well ok, but I'll keep it brief.

So, dusk approaches for the last time in 2007. It feels a bit like this:



It's been up and down really. Life has been beautiful, difficult, and bitter sweet. As the sun sets I remember the hard parts of this year, but I'm also grateful for what has gone right, and have hope for next year.

Business has been tough, but successful on the whole. It's my first proper year of my business, as before February of this year I was operating as a soul trader. I now have an accountant, a VAT number, a business bank account and (dreaded) overdraft, so I'm a fair bit more established than I was (and feeling all boring and grown up at times too shocked).
Personal life? Well, that's a tricky subject. This time last year I was in a relationship with a girl I thought I was probably going to marry (not that it was on the cards at all, and a distant future plan, but it looked like it was heading that way eventually), and now I'm young free and single once more. I've remembered a lot of things about myself which I'd forgotten while one half of a partnership. It's hard to explain exactly, but while I always felt like I was the master of my own destiny while in a relationship I'm feeling a good deal more independent now. I never really had to answer to anybody, but I suppose it's all down to me now, and that's both depressing and exhilarating. I can't quite work out if I'm better off, because I mean it when I say it's exhilarating. I have great friends, and have met some really interesting and lovely people lately. I have a lot to look forward to in 2008.

New years resolutions are simple: live more, work smarter. Make a concious effort to do all the fun things London has to offer but that it's so easy to miss when you live here. There are so many galleries, museums, live music venues, cinemas playing independent films, fun and exciting courses and events... being a Londoner born and bred you just take it for granted. Also, however much I try to gee my friends up most of them say yes, and do nothing. I have a reasonably decent social life, but it all revolves round pubs and bars.
I've got a pact with my best friend that once a week we'll go out and do something proper and cultural, be it music, a film or whatever, and we take it in turns to choose what. We're also going to have an evening in once a week where we crack open 2 decent bottles of wine and I cook. I love to cook, and I love to cook properly, but there seems less point by yourself, and my Ex wasn't all that gratifying to cook for, bless her. She tried, but was a bit of a fussy eater when it came to home cooking, even though she was quite adventurous in restaurants.
I'd like to resolve to read more, but realistically I know I'll break that one if I make it. I just don't have the time at the moment, and again that's one of those things you have to be disciplined about. If I sit at home and start to read within a short space of time something in the corner of my eye has demanded my attention, be it something to clean or tidy, some work job I need to do or whatever.
Being a bit more financially stable I'm also resolving to go away more. I want to do proper travelling again, but until the summer I can't really take more than a week off here and there. Mostly I think I want to go to some of the European cities I've never been to. I love city breaks. What a great way to take a breather!

Anyway, I think I'm done with that. Not much content about my years events, I realise, but frankly, mind your own business!

You're all lovely though. Happy New Years smile
