Rob's Ego Trip!

To finish off the year, I thought a quick summary was in order.

January

We started the year with a trip to the zoo. I attempted to get a photo of a waterfall with that blurry water you see the good photographers do.

February

The highlight of February was talking at the UK PHP Conference in London.

March

A quiet month with most weekends doing something with the family. We went for a walk by the river Severn one weekend. There are many swans.

April

April saw a very nice PHPWM meet-up at a pub that served pies as well as pints. It also snowed.

May

May is the month of birthdays in our household as both the boys and myself celebrate. It also marks the start of the camping season for us.

June

After May, June was a quiet month. Prince Charles took a ride on the Severn Valley Railway though, which I enjoyed photographing.

July

July saw sports day for our eldest son and a week's holiday camping in Norfolk towards the end of the month. I believe that that week in July was the only hot week we had all year.

August

We went away for our second week's camping and visited Legoland. The kids loved it.

September

A busy month with our youngest starting school. Also, I went to ZendCon!

October

We started the move to Birmingham for the company with two members of staff there. The Wispa also returned to the shops.

November

The highlight of November was speaking at the inaugural PHPNW conference.

December

The last month of the year saw both kids in school plays and most importantly, my book about Zend Framework was published!



Here's to 2009!

I went to see Jon in his school pantomime this evening. All of year three were the chorus and had to dress as a pantomime character. Jon was a pirate and looked very good. The show was excellent with the Wicked Witch stealing it from everyone else with an excellent performance.
