I'm pretty sure nobody will read this, but I thought I'd give it a bash anyway. I have to say I'm pretty disappointed in myself for not updating this site for SO long. I am a terrible person! I'd partly blame my lack of time though, due to a crazy busy few years at work as well as making the most of my free time in the Big Smoke when I'm not working.
For those who have read this from the beginning, you'll know I wanted to give myself things to complete outside of the workplace, as it was all consuming and making me generally miserable. While my current job can sometimes overshadow my personal life, I'm making a conscious decision to ensure I make the most of the times it doesnt.
With that said, I thought I'd update on my completed list items since I last posted..
2) Visit Iceland / Look for the Northern Lights - Complete!
Since the last time I wrote here, I met a nice young man who also had the idea of heading to see the lights. So much so, that when his friend returned to live there having had enough of London, he made the vow to visit for New Years Eve. Turns out that nice young man kind of likes me, so invited me to join him and a group of current/new friends to head to Reykjavik... and we found the lights!
