‘Tis the time of year when newspapers and journals stop even pretending to find news and, instead, fill their pages with reviews of the year, decade and pompous predictions.
Bloggers everywhere have joined in with their pondering on the months gone and the brightness or otherwise of the future.
But, really, we were all there for the last 12 months, so we all know what happened, don’t we? I can’t imagine that my considerations will add much.
Instead, here’s my year in numbers.
