Thursday 3rd January 2013

And so the new year continues with the 3rd following hot on the hells of the 2nd; who’d have thought it? Well, those Muppets who really felt the world was going to end on the 21st, like when the guardians of all mankind’s knowledge, The Mayans, did, or didn’t, predict the world would end or was that just the beginning of another long count?

(Have I killed or mortally wounded out mother tongue with the paragraph above? There seems to be a lot of commas in it, too many perhaps. And a semi-colon. Oh well)

The New Year fitness thing has been still-born, as my back has been playing up. Seems that too much cake and turkey sandwiches really mess with your digestion; who knew? So, a crash course in fruit, fruit and more fruit seems to be working. Anyway, we still have about a third of the second cake, plenty more mincemeat for mince pies and sausage meat for rolls. Rather than eating them every day, one a week or something, perhaps?

Being a new year has meant we have seen the sun for three days in a row; at this rate the country will have dried up by the time summer comes round again.

We have bought a new toilet and basin for the bathroom, will buy the new shower tray and door thing this weekend, and we are now discussing colours for the walls and tiles. All exciting stuff I’m sure you’ll agree.

I have to admit, that coming into work yesterday was not easy; dossing around at home, watching TV, messing around on the computer or just going out to take pictures is so easy, and something I could quite happily carry on doing that the rest of my life. I think, therefore, I should start doing the lottery again and in the unlikely event we win than that plan, and “operation travel the world photographing it until its pips squeak” will be on.

There is some good news, today is Thursday and Friday is looming on the horizon, which means more non-work related stuff.
