Moisturise more.
And post more regularly.
2009 was a strange year of highs and lows, and I gather from facebook and my google reader that there are many many people out there very glad to put it behind them. I wonder what 2010 will hold. I hope to make headway with personal projects, and not get so lost in work. Make the moments count. Even the dread commute.
I hope my new bike will set the momentum for 2010.

So sad to hear this news about Sam Haskins passing. I love his photographs of women, and his montage.

I know I’m really fortunate to have a good job, easy commute, challenging workload, but sometimes I really miss time to myself. Two days off last week have me chance to catch up so I:
- Cooked my favorite roast chicken recipe (with a mustard crust) for Jen and Thea
- Won a vintage RL cardigan on ebay, and lost a vintage RL jacket which I really didn’t need anyway. The ebay cosmos righting itself again, thank goodness
- Watched Tales of the City on DVD - Vaginal Davis and Country Joe cameos. A all-time favorite.
- Replaced our old broken clothes airer with a brand new one. I have jammed my finger in that plastic thing for the last time - little things should make you happy I think
- Walked Rita on the common, watching the trees lose more and more leaves each day
- We saw Superduck and Sooz at Michael Clark’s Barbican performance, then Mr G and I jumped a cab for champagne cocktails in Soho
- Spent most of Saturday in bed with tea, crumpets and the papers, enjoying Mick Brown’s interview with Paula Rego and looking like a halloween costume thanks to the cocktails…
- Meeting Junior and Linnet and their dog Jack for lunch. I can’t wait to see Linnet’s hair - she’s gone from blonde to brunette overnight - impulse decision!!
Tomorrow is Monday and it begins again…
