So another year rolls on by. In previous years I’ve said that the year went quick but this year I can’t say it did. It didn’t go fast but it didn’t go slow in any way at all.
Rach and I spent New Years Eve at home… But of course our house put on a party. We thought we’d be able to see the London Eye fireworks from our rooftop but we found out at 00:00 that we couldn’t see them 🙁 So instead we watched them on a TV. I sat their it utmost disappointment and sadness watching a spectacular display of fireworks, on TV. Unlike the rest that I had seen, this display wasn’t boring. I was really disappointed that we weren’t there along the river watching them in person and soaking up the atmosphere. All I can say that is if you are ever here in London on New Years Eve, make sure you go.
Anyway, at this time of the year for a number of years, my group of friends reflect back on the year that was and each person posts up their list of highs and lows of the year just gone. Further below is the list I posted.
Rach and I have got Dubai booked in for the 24th of this month. We’re going for five days and I can’t wait. I’ve read into it and seen the pictures, I am keen as. A seven star hotel, giant palm islands, massive skylines, indoor skiing slopes, tax & duty free shopping, big malls, big buildings and more.
So here is my list of highs and lows of 2006:
