Well it’s 2020. I made it. It’s been a difficult Christmas as I was hit hard by a cold / man flu so didn’t get around to my usual Christmas Day prezzies post. I wasn’t feeling the festive spirit much, but at least I wasn’t in work and have been off since Christmas Eve. I’m back in tomorrow.

What did I get this year? Well a couple of games, namely Dragons Quest XI on the Switch and Jedi Fallen Order on the Xbox One X. Other than that I received the 4K Blu-ray of Alita Battle Angel, a Blu-ray copy of Rocketman as well as some clothes, vouchers etc and my usual Scarlett Johansson calendar. Not too shabby! Hope those I got prezzies for liked what I got them too!

As a new year gift to myself, I also picked up the iPhone 11. My phone is a major part of my daily routine, be it social media, internet shopping / browsing and also using it for work. So why not have a good one? So far I’m loving it and going from the iPhone 8 to this is quite the leap, especially with the bigger screen (important for me as I have ongoing issues with my eyesight).

Looking to the year ahead, as well as looking back at 2019, a highlight was obviously seeing my favourite band, Garbage for the fourth time, meeting various members of the band and getting a photo with lead singer Shirley Manson. I can see me attempting to repeat such an experience in 2020 with the band having a new album due out and most likely a tour to support it. Fingers crossed it happens!

As far as this blog is concerned, I’ll admit I haven’t been as prolific with posts as I have been in the past and haven’t chosen to review everything I watched. I’ve not written much about the TV shows I’ve been binging like Sons of Anarchy and Mister Robot. Life gets in the way and that’ll probably be the same in the year ahead so can’t promise there’ll be a ton of posts going forward… yet I’ll try and keep up with the various movie reviews as usual and the occasional surprise. Watch this space.

Well that’s all from me for now. Happy new year to anyone who has read and supported this blog. Hope 2020 is all you could hope for.

Craig.
