Thngs have changed.
Personal lives have fractured and taken on new shapes. Bad things have happened. Good things have happened. Awful things have happened. Great things have happened.
Kitezoo is off to Afghanistan (although she may still be in UAE right now).
Chomps is... somewhere. Some where between Russia and China. Inclusive.
Hex may well be in Glasgow.
I'm currently on a train to London (although I'll be back in the 'burgh soon).
But still there is The List, and still there are The Wasp Tasters.
Let's review!
List items ticked off
- Run a distance, more than 5km, less than a marathon - organised by Kitezoo
- Whisky tasting - organised by nome
- Learn a creative skill - tbc. Woodworking/pottery/millinery/ceramic painting - organised by nome
- Murder Mystery Pub Crawl Treasure Hunt - organised by Hex
- Go to a festival (tbc) - organised by nome. Not Woolfest, not Small Is...
- Go to the dogs and place bets - organised by Hex
- Trans-Siberian Railway - organised by Chomps (although Chomps is the only one doing it, SAD FACE)
- And a good number of instances of the ongoing list item #26: Cook something together regularly. Combine with List Steering Group - organised by nome
(So... of the 8 items we've ticked off, 4 were my responsibility. I think it's PRETTY EASY to see who's winning here.)
For me, at least, Wasp Tasting has brought a lot of joy in what could have been a particularly tough year. It's brought fun times, and promises fun times to come.
One year ago, life became exciting again.
And that's one thing that hasn't changed.
Here's to the next year, Waspettes.
