There has been so much, you've covered some and of course there's been much horror too.

However there have also been glimmers of good in there.......

For me, turning 50 in April and still having a decent head of hair and a trim 11st 8lbs.......:-)

Gutted David Bowie died so young, same for Earth Wind and Fire's Maurice White, Singer Natalie Cole, who actually died NYEve, Alan Rickman, who was a great actor, and Gene Wilder, Ronnie Corbett and of course, Terry Wogan....All sheer class......sadly missed and loads of others too......been a bad year so far.

Not a lot so far, to be honest unless it has a direct affect on me and mine I'm not really that bothered. We have a good lifestyle, owe nothing and just get on with it, with the exception of my accident a month or three back life is ok.
