Whilst the USians and so on are yet to join us in the New Year (hello back there!), it’s already next year here.  We brought in 2009 at a small gathering, and had a lovely time.  A great beginning to what hopefully will be a great year.

You all will see that there’s a new template for the blog.  I don’t know that it’ll be permanent, but I was so tired of the old one that I couldn’t face looking at it anymore.  So, something brighter!

I will be, intermittently, posting stuff about 2009.  I am, as usual, just a bit behind on things so I’ve got to finish my Locus year in review essay, get editing etc done, and work up this other project that I seem to be getting involved in.  It should be cool, but more with the busy.
