Moli review of the year…

Like most TV and Newspaper output right now it’s proper and fitting for Moliblog to have a Review of the year…

I remember the pain of 2010 and wanting that year to end as quickly as possible with the chance to move on from my grief. To be honest, I’m not sure that time is that good a healer as so many people promise but life has a way of helping you not remember as often.

I felt that 2011 went so very fast. Every year that passes as an adult seems to pass quicker and quicker and I’m pleased that 2011 had so many distractions…

The Royal Wedding and the Beach BBQ we had to celebrate, watching Pippa’s bum,

seeing New Order live, Derren Brown, David Tennant in ‘Much Ado About Nothing’ and Elbow at the O2, Top gear live, Doctor Who Live and after wanting to go for so many years, Wimbledon. I got to photograph Seasick Steve for Age UK and I bumped in Rhys Ifans.

I spent too much money in Fortnum and Masons and Selfridges…

and couldn’t spend any money in Abercrombie and shit.

I watch far too much Doctor Who, I was disappointed with Torchwood Miracle day and was sad to see the last season of Spooks…

I watched some great films… War Horse,

Attack the Block, The Fighter, Paul, Battle: Los Angeles, Super 8, The Adventures of TinTin, 127 hours, Hangover PT 2, The Kings Speech, Planet of the Apes,

Also a terrible film… Tree of life.

God help me if I have to sit through that load of old horse turds again.

2011 was also filled with sadness and uncertainty. Jobs became fragile and rare to obtain. London rioted over nothing and those animals in our society shopped with aggression without paying. My bike was stolen from a very secure location, which clearly wasn’t and my back still hurts.

I managed to turn my hands green by growing my own chili plant and ultimately creating amazing chili vinegar.

Recently I turned 40 in style with an amazing holiday to Antigua and I met my girlfriend’s mum in Paris that was short but sweet.

I created a bucket list, which will now form my new years resolutions for 2012…

The next 12 months will be a challenge for me. I’ve already got some things planned and I hope to have plenty of exciting things to keep the balance for those less than great days.

I wish you a happy and exciting new year,

Moli
