Had a good day at Fakenham races with four winners, a second and only one longshot unplaced in the last race. Only my second ever visit to the course. Very compact and very crowded and big queues to put bets on which meant the odds of horses changed as we stood in line. On one occasion I had to watch helplessly as my horse's odds came in whilst I was waiting to get the bet on.
So a decent day and a real wish that 2012 will be kinder to our family than 2011 which was an horrendous year.
Thinking about my favourite albums and tracks of the year. Favourite album was a tough one and
probably a surprise choice for somebody very much into rock. I would have to go for the Glenn Campbell album simply because it was such a pleasant surprise with it's beautifully crafted songs and optimism despite the artist suffering from Alzheimer's. Track of the year came right at the end - When the Thames Froze by Smith and Burrows.
2012 is the 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles Dickens and I'm hoping to read as many of his novels as possible during the year.
Main hope for the year is that we all treat each other with more love and respect. Sadly I can't see it happening.
