Happy new year!

It’s a new year and an Olympic one for the UK.

Regardless of what the pundits tell you about the economic climate, the state of the middle east and the world of business, I have no idea what personally this year will bring…

We are now happily installed in our new home and it will be nice not to spend time house hunting etc. Of course we have plans for the house this year, a few odd jobs to make our mark. It’ll be nice to experience a full year in Essex and Colchester and to participate in all the annual traditions.

We didn’t see in the new year as we managed to fall asleep before Big Ben tolled! We had a lovely dinner last night and caught up on our favourite American programs. A nice relaxed evening which left us comatosed and relaxed.

Can’t say if there were any fireworks in Colchester as we must have slept through any noise…

Today will be much like Christmas day for us and we have already had a cooked breakfast which I put together this morning. There is another hunk of beef in the oven and we are looking forward to another day chilling out.

Thankfully it’s another day off here in the UK tomorrow as it’s a bank holiday due to today falling on a Sunday. I can’t say I will be glad to go back to work on Tuesday!

I was looking through my favourite music of 2011 and was surprised to see how the playlists on Last FM were slightly different to the music I mentioned. Especially Cocknbullkid as I did listen to the album quite a bit before our little online “dispute”.

Here’s my most played albums of 2011 (glad to see classics such as Rhythm Nation still make it in here):

My most played artists of the year (M83, Sound of Arrows etc don’t feature as they were late editions):

And my most played tracks of the year (see what I mean re Cocknbullkid,):

An interesting year all round and I hope 2012 is just as exciting. I already have one concert booked, we plan to be on holiday when the Olympics are on so that we miss all the chaos and I potentially have some other things to look forward to.

I am looking forward to another great year with my baby, miss Brandy and our wonderful friends.

(Not so sure I am happy about turning 38 in 30 days time though!).

Wherever you are and however you celebrated I hope you had a great New Years Eve and I would like to wish you’ll the very best for the year ahead.
