Looking back at 2014

It's certainly been an eventful year. In the real world we've had the centenary of the beginning of the First World War and the turbulence of the Scottish Referendum. We've also had the Ebola outbreak, Russia's attack on Ukraine, ISIS and the media's bizarre infatuation with UKIP which have made this year miserable for a great many people.

Personally I'm in a better place than I was at the end of last year. Things never stay the same though. So It'll be interesting to see where things go next year.

In pop culture terms there have been things I liked. The new Doctor Who is good. Kate Bush's return to music was also a highlight. Orphan Black has survived another year, and amazingly managed to get a third series. The rest of music has been a disappointment this year though.

It's difficult to tell what 2015 will be like. This time next year there'll have been a general election, the return of Star Wars and the third series of Orphan Black.
