...and don't let the door hit you on the way out! It was not the best year, it started off badly and, as soon as autumn arrived, went downhill. I broke my arm and dislocated my elbow, tearing ligaments, after falling over a BT Openreach cover in London in September, the cat died the previous week and there were work-related dramas involving the union.
On the upside, I went to a lot of good music gigs and festivals (I am a heavy metal fan, specifically the sub-genres of black metal and death metal), including one in southern Finland - where I saw a Siberian Jay - and I have got back into birding, sketching and 'nature journaling'.
Plans for 2024 include a visit to a seabird reserve for puffins and other breeding seabirds and to replace my bashed up old Swaro ATS 65 with a new one, not least as the old one - which was already old when I bought it many years ago - now has fungus in it. I am hoping to plan a 'Big Trip' for 2025.
