My year according to Twitter - August

Today is New Years Eve. When I started writing the 'My week according to Twitter' blog posts in January I intended to write a new post each week of the year so that when it came to today I could look back at all the different things I had done over the year. I only managed to get to the end of July when I stopped. Probably due to a combination of reasons including the Olympics temporarily taking over my life and using my laptop a lot less than I used to after getting a tablet.

So here are the highlights from the last five months of 2012, starting with August:

As you can see, the Olympics dominated my life in August.

Yes #TeamGB gymnastics! Brilliant performance! #London2012

Was I born in China? "Glad it's a boy"!? Wonder if they also sold "Unlucky it's a girl" twitter.com/mfaz/status/23…

Once the Olympics were over I moved in to my new flat in Liverpool and started my graduate job.

Fully moved in to the new flat and unpacked now. I officially live in Liverpool again!

My working life officially starts today. It's a new chapter in the book that is my life.

August was very busy, but involved a lot of time sitting on the sofa. September wasn't as comfy as August - September and October highlights.
