It only seems like yesterday that I was posting in August and now we are in the last day of November.

In between my wife had a bad accident which has kept her away from work. In a nutshell she damaged vertebrae in her back which have taken their time to repair. But repaired they have and she will touch wood be back at work on Monday.

Tomorrow I am due to have my triannual colonoscopy, not something I look forward to but something that three generations of my family never had.

Sport wise the autumn internationals have finished and Wales and France were both on the end of heavy defeats from Australia and New Zealand.

The football world cup draw is this Friday, the hype starts here.

Next time we'll look at film, books, tv and music for 2009.
