13. MISFORTUNE

Ahhh, the anvil. Hilarity ensues.

12. INSANITY

Did I say it was that guy? No I didn't. Shame on you for your stereotyping behaviour  (and its not the guy in the beret either - though he is a bit of a dick).

11. MEMORY

Chickens. Can not be trusted.......

10. BREATHE AGAIN

Yep. Zombies. Totally aware they are so 2012 (or possibly 2011) but I didn't get to partake then.

9. DRIVE

Yes. I am aware that this is not very feasible. You should perhaps prepare yourself for more of this kind of thing.

8_INNOCENCE

That cricket bat was very nearly a baseball bat such is my overexposure to the evil influence of  the Yankee Cultural Juggernaut....

7. HEAVEN

Tricky. That sign was going to be quite a bit more pointed - I'm sure Richard Dawkins would castigate me for my moral cowardice. 

Just for the record - I am NOT one who thinks the world is getting worse from a human psyche point of view (though our potential for deliberate or accidental damage is impressively greater than it was when we used to burn witches and believed the world was flat). And I would also point out that 5 minutes in God Time could be, well, whatever the hell he wants it to be in Human Time.

So who knows how long that sign has been up.

6. BREAKING AWAY

More buildings. I am wondering how big I could make this given more time. Town? City? For the locals - that is the Gilded Armpit front and centre on the left...

5. SEEKING SOLACE

Yeah, that's right. Come at me Bro!

3. LIGHT....aaaaaand also 4.DARK

3. LIGHT

Not feeling the love for this one so much (which is not that good considering I'm only 3 in). What can I say, I've had a big weekend. Also - consider this part one of two (tomorrow being 'Dark').

4. DARK

See what I did there? Who doesn't feel better with a torch.

2. LOVE

Yes yes. How surprising. An Australian male putting a picture of a Rugby jersey up under the theme of 'love'.

To be fair, on my list of loved things this is probably down at number 4 or 5 after all the usual suspects (wife, child, family, democracy, freedom etc) but really - I have spent 20 years playing footy with Iggies and those times have provided me with a host of truly excellent times from the very first game.  

So to those possibly looking askance at my choice and tutting in a dismissive manner - pfft.

1. INTRODUCTION

Small, screaming, covered in white stuff and baby faeces. This is how I was introduced to my daughter. She (now 7) has been the driver for pretty much all of the excellent things that have made up what has been a pretty excellent last 12 months for me. For which I thank her.
