Great thread, H. I've enjoyed reading everyone's successes and ambitions. Personally, I missed last year's thread, so I don't have anything to measure up to, thankfully. <g>
What happened in 2004 that was good? Other than visiting Wendy and John in their new home in Canada, seeing some old Folc friends again and meeting a couple of new ones - which was wonderful and probably the highlight of my year - I can't think of anything terribly noteworthy.
I guess taking my main holiday in the UK (rather than going abroad) for the first time in years was also a highlight. I really enjoyed the novelty of not needing a passport, being able to travel there in just a few hours, and being able to speak the language when I arrived - oh, and being able to watch Wimbledon on the BBC. <g> Not to mention that Cornwall, where I went, was utterly charming and beguiling.

For 2005? Um, well, I guess the main aim is to visit Canada again within the next few months. Hopefully meet up with the transatlantic Folcs I met last time and perhaps meet some new ones, time and circumstances permitting.
A minor resolution is to wash the dinner dishes the same night I use them rather than leave them for next morning.
Oh, and get my bathroom refitted and redecorated! Almost forgot that one.
That's about it.
Nope, thought of another one: begin writing an original fiction novel. That's a biggie and I'll give myself a big pat on the back next year if I actually manage it.
