I’ve got way behind with the Best of 09 prompts – so here is a whole lot of them in one go…

December 9 – Challenge

It has to be Athens of course. Despite doing a lot of public speaking, this was the biggest and scariest one I have ever done. 150 people important people, simultaneously translated and two flights away. A total fear, crying, tired, scary rush!

December 10 – Album of the year

Hum, this is a tricky one as I don’t honestly listen to new music (i’m stuck on the Rolling Stones, Counting Crows, Nick Drake, Van Morrison, Bob Dylan kinda bandwagon) but I do like a bit of pop so ill say Lady Gaga – The Fame Monster

December 11 – The best place

The best place I visited? Well it’s a toss up between Calella de Palafrugel in Spain and Copenhagen, but honestly its still Edinburgh – always.

December 12 – New food

For years I couldn’t eat Chinese food as I am allergic to MSG, but having discover my new local Chinese is truthfully MSG free I am able to enjoy it again. Even if its just a couple of spring rolls!

December 13 – What’s the best change you made to the place you live?

Moving out of the house I shared with my ex – 100% best thing I’ve done this year. im loving living back in my bachelorette pad, even if I spend some evenings twittering my loneliness.

December 14 – Rush

Athens again!

December 15 – Best packaging

Cocosa! I love this shop and I love the fact they send everything beautifully wrapped and in nice cardboard bags

December 16 – Tea of the year

I don’t really drink tea, but I have just got myself a lovely Kenyan AA… mmmm
