2009

Somehow the end of the decade has sneaked up on me. I'm not sure how I didn't notice we were moving from the noughties into the twenty-tens but we are and very shortly. The end of a decade is usually a good time to pen some self absorbed navel gazing, at the end of the last decade the world became obsessed with ranking events from the previous 10 and 100 years, the millennium became big news, catastrophe was being predicted by every closet Nostradamus. Most of us thought the turn of the century was significant, although when pushed most of us didn't know why.
