End of the year 2008

So, that’s it folk! We’ve made it through to the end of the year 2008. Tomorrow is another day. It’s been quite an interesting year, though I suspect that next year might be even more interesting. The final moments of the year are likely to be cold and foggy, so it says.

You can read a BBC News review of the most read stories of the year here. Some of the notable points have been the death of Heath Ledger, the strange Austrian guy who kept his family locked in the cellar for years, the Chinese Olympic Games and various assorted scandals over pretty trivial things at the BBC.

Naturally in an Olympic year, British sportspeople are quite highly honoured. Also this year sees a knighthood for Terry Pratchett – well deserved I think – and a CBE for businessman and TV’s dragon Peter Jones.

As a final splurdge this year, we’ve finally purchased a video camera. It’s a dinky little JVC thing, that is currently charging up. So eventually I’ll be able to flood this website with videos of cats. huzzah!

Happy New Year!
