O.K. I set up my blog last February and left it blank and here we are nearly one year later and I have decided to have a go at blogging. I don't think for one minute that my life is interesting enough to be writing a blog very often, but I'm going to give it a bash.
My new years resolutions are:
1) Lose weight (the same resolution as for the last 18 years. Prior to this it was always to give up smoking and 12 years later I suceeded. So who knows?!)
2) Regular blogging (as oppose to jogging)
3) Read more
4) Drink more (both water and alcohol!)
I went reluctantly (it was cold) for a walk today. My other half wanted to try out his new camera and I was needed to hold the dog lead. I took my camera too and attempted to capture the beautful sunset. It was only about 4pm.
Back to work again tomorrow. The festive period is definitely over, but I refuse to take down the decorations until the 6th January, since my 3 wise men haven't reached Mary, Joseph and Jesus yet - they move a little further along the shelf each day until they arrive on Epithany!
Just as I thought - not had time to update my blogg for over 3 weeks. But I will keep trying. Had a fantastic short-break with Simon in mid-January when we were in the midst of all that white stuff. Travelled to Wiltshire visiting Stonehenge on the way. I've never seen it covered in snow before. It was bitterly cold and part of the footpath was closed (good old health & safety), but interesting and scenic. The rocks really rock! Stayed in Salisbury and visited the cathedral and medieval town etc. Most enjoyable.
Christmas is officially over. The Magi had no sooner arrived when they were packed away and put in the loft until next Christmas. The only reminders of the festive season now are a beautiful red poinsettia and outdoor lights (not switched on) because I refuse to take them down in this weather.
