The Penultimate Day

As the sun sets on another year, I've been reflecting on the past. Thanks to the assisted memory of blip, I know that three years ago on this night I was on the Isle of Arran, two years ago in Amsterdam and last year of the island of Miyajima in Japan. Tonight I'm on my own in my little rented flat on the first street I lived on in Scotland.

The last year has certainly been memorable, both for good and for bad. As the sunshine came out in the late afternoon, my spirits rose a little. This song on the radio sealed the deal - http://youtu.be/39UvGoHSHew I guess I'll survive to live and love another day (no fighting, please).
