We're in a demolition derby in the dark, with multiple contestants, some of whom are maniacs, some of whom flash their lights occasionally blinding us. The brakes and air bags have failed, but the horns and gas pedals still work. Fasten your seat belts; it's going to be a bumpy ride.
Was held together in 2017 mostly by sleeping tablets and good coffee. I've become closer however to my extended family (Facebook has its uses) and feel I have achieved a lot through my work. (Not a single day off sick, despite the insomnia,.....heck, in spite of it).
I will chalk 2017 up, in balance, as a good year. I hope the same for all of us here in 2018.

You'd be the very model of a modern major general!
It honestly was an experience that made my year. The singing and playing was fantastic itself, but the people... f#$$, I needed that. I so needed that, and I didn't even realise it until I joined.
Yeah, I signed up for next year.
