Dear 2011,
It appears that my last letter to you was a little hasty. I had no faith that you could deliver a 2011 miracle in such a short space of time. But in actual fact I was wrong.
You delivered to me, a mere 9 hours after my last letter, another letter affording hopes and promises for the arriving days of 2012.
For this I am very thankful, and would like to say that there is still a little under 3 hours for you to work your magic again not just for me, for everyone else that has had, to use the colloquial term, 'beef' with you.
In your honour and in all fairness to you, here is a list of the things that have happened that I can be very grateful you brought for me.
• My permanent residency card
• My trip home to see my very missed family and friends
• The recipe for home-made diluting orange juice
• The ability to help make a short film
• Being married, regardless of the lack of a wedding or the circumstances surrounding it
• Seeing various friends that I hadn't seen in a long time in various cities: Charla, Farris, Marcus, April, Natalie and Niki in Salt Lake. Eilidh in LA. Chris in Sacramento as he passed through. Mary, Donna, Lorraine, Laura and Toni, in Glasgow.
Although you and I have been at loggerheads, I can already look back in fondness, at a few of your offerings.
Thank you.

"Being married, regardless of the lack of a wedding or the circumstances surrounding it"
Oh wow. Congratulations! I used to read your blog every so often but thought you'd stopped writing it. I checked back after hearing about the roof getting ripped off the houses at the station.
I miss reading your updates but hopefully that means you're so happy that you don't feel the need to blog these days.
