As I have neglected to write anything for the year, here is a quick summary of the things that happened in 2017.
- We did a lot of travelling this year. We visited Morocco with a group of friends, had a ski holiday in France, took a road trip around Cornwall, spent a long weekend in Switzerland, spent another long weekend in Italy, and to top it all off, we spent two weeks in South America, covering Colombia, Brazil and Peru. If you are interested to hear more about them, details are available at Postcard Journal.
- We invested in a new piano, a Kawai KDP90 after our old piano suddenly broke while I was practising on it. I feel like my sight-reading is improving and I have been expanding on my music selection.
- Run, run, and more runs. Improvements have been slow, but I did manage a 1K best of 5:05 mins, 5K best of 27:44 mins, and 10K best of 58:48 mins. The recent cold weather has been a real drag on my motivation.
- My gingivitis is finally under control, after multiple visits to the dental hygienist and religious flossing.
- I recently tried two new recipes, Japanese soufflé cheesecake and roti canai, both of which turned out really well.
- I am still swiping away on Pokémon GO. I was about to stop, until they released the new Pokémons. I am now on level 32.
- And the highlight of the year—we got engaged. Wedding planning is fun, but stressful at the same time.
Happy New Year 2018!
