Miriam and I: still working for CSR which, excitingly, is probably going to get bought by Qualcomm.
D: got good GCSEs; now in the lower 6th at the Perse doing Maths / Phys / Tech / Chem.
E: in year 8, flourishing academically, still doing clarinet and piano (she got her music colours).
I reached the venerable age of fifty. I ran the Brighton Marathon for the fourth time, in 3:43, which was effectively an equal PB; and the Amsterdam Marathon in 3:58, which was a bit rubbish. I've been climbing at Chatsworth with Howard and at Stanage with Daniel and got in a bit of mountaineering in the summer; see below. Daniel is better technically climbing than me now, but we don't talk about that. Rowing wasn't as good this year as last - but that was a hard year to match - and our up-1-down-2 in bumps wasn't really a fair return for a good crew.
Updating this after Christmas I can include the group photos. First at Mothers, where things are tradiational.
Then at M+J's, where a more modern look prevails. Note Miranda clutching her beloved Tabby in both.
Summer holidays: as a family, we went to the Pelonnonese, which was great. This is Mycenae:
Miriam and I went to the Stubai (not again) and that's at least partially written up. There are far too many gorgeous pictures of mountains to show you; here's M and me:
On a sadder note, my Uncle Henry died, and we scattered his ashes.
Lastly... do feel free to say hello in the comments; its nice to hear from people.
