Decades meme, snurched from half my flist.
March 1981: In last year of middle school in dear old Dunstable, living with my Mum and Dad in the tiny 2 bedroom bungalow I grew up in. I remember not enjoying the first part of the academic year but things had improved drastically by March and I was doing ok. I still am very grateful to my teacher, Mrs Davis, who really opened my eyes to English Literature. Less happily, my Dad had developed a Persistant Cough - this later proved to be lung cancer which took him later in the year.
March 1991: *thinks* Wow, I had to resort to counting on fingers to work this out. I was living in Sunderland, in a flat above a pub (woot!!), with Tanya and Wendy, in the second year of my English degree. This was the year I really discovered cider. Oh dear. Oh deary deary me.
March 2001: Living in Welwyn Garden City in a 2 bedroom flat, in a relationship with Ginger Mike, who lived in Cambridge. There was a fair bit of travelling :D Rob the Furball was 5 years old :) This was the first year of a long period of unemployment but I was all right with that at this point.
March 2011: Still in WGC in the same flat (16 years this year). Single, working for local government, mostly happier, definitely fatter, got a good solid ring of friends round me (you know who you all are) and looking ahead to a year of change.
March 2021: I have no idea where I'll be. The changes this year, all job related, will probably dictate a lot of what I do next and I don't know what they'll be as yet.
