This is part 1 in a mini-series of posts that looks into the best year of my life, two thousand and nine. In this part I start to go back a remember the moments that have stuck with me.
For the first few posts in this series I’m going to be counting down my top 40 moments of 2009. I’ve put a lot of thought into this list because it’s something I want to get right. But what is a ‘moment’?
I’m seeing a moment as a very short space of time. I don’t want any of this “the boat trip was amazing”, that’s too vague (although it was). I want to talk about specific events, small fractions of time, that define the moods we have and the time we call “the best times”. So lets get started:
#40: Building Josh’s Computer
I’m kicking off the list with one of the many great moments of summer. I went to Josh’s house to help him build his computer. It was a geeky evening, but we had a good time slotting everything in and I think I managed to teach Josh a thing or two about how a computer works
#39: Getting My Files Back
You may remember my post back in January about losing all my files. Well it was more than a relief when I managed to get them all back!
#38: Sunday Night Live
Back in February I ran video for a gig in Rubix. We had a total of 10 cameras and 6 people operating. It was definitely the most successful video rig I’ve ever ran and it was amazing fun. There are plans to do another one of these next year, which I’m really looking forward to.
#37: That Afternoon With Three Cakes
The afternoon where Phil and I baked three cakes between us while watching the Grand Prix. Simpler times…
#36: Pimms Next To The Thames With Heather & Lauren
Drinking a pitcher of Pimms with Heather & Lauren at my favourite pub next to the Thames.
#35: Southbank With Lauren After Avenue Q
I love walking down Southbank at night, and it was great to share that Lauren.
#34: Walking Into The House & Knowing I Live There
This is a bit of a weird one, because it happens almost every day. I just love that feeling. And the first time I put the key in the door was magic.
#33: Being At Merry Hill With Sam, Matthew, Kevin & Ben
This is the first moment from the boat trip, believe me there are plenty more to come! This was right at the humble beginnings, the first day, when we went to the cinema to see The Hangover and had a meal, a brilliant film.
#32: Climbing The Trees In Sam’s Garden In Scotland
The first time I’d seen Sam in literally years! So great to catch up.
#31: Messing With Chairs With Josh While We Were ‘Revising’
Wheelie chairs can provide a good distraction from revision, especially when you’ve been revising for over 5 hours straight!
Come back tomorrow for the 30-21 greatest moments, including many more boat memories, snow and a pink bench :O
