Belated happy New Year


The last few days have been a bit challenging weather wise to say the least. The background to this stormy spell has been the constant wind, which when its not trying to pry away our roof tiles, makes do with chucking the garden furniture about and rearranging the bird feeders. Even Lilly the Collie has been reluctant to step outside at times. Luckily we have not had any trees down and despite the best efforts of the wind,the roof is still attached to the house. During a brief lull, while the wind died down for a bit, I took the Christmas tree, stripped of its finery and looking a bit forlorn, out and put it in the back of the car. A trip to the tip later, once I have dropped the Weasel off at work. It seemed a bit sad taking it down. Another Christmas done, another year gone, and already a week into the new one. I'm not sure about 2012 to be honest. Its a bit scary. Everyone is growing up, leaving home, and moving on. A fresh start? Or the same old? Decided not to make any resolutions again. (Is that a resolution?) They don't work for me. Well its a bit late but happy new year, I hope 2012 brings you what you want.

Not exactly a resolution, but an experiment - gave up coffee in the morning to see if it would lessen the need to go to the bog so often and help me sleep at night. Five constantly tired and headachey days into the new year, I gave up and returned to the caffeine club. Been right as rain ever since yesterday morning. Oh, sorry to mention rain. Look on the bright side, the nights are drawing out already, soon it won't be dark until 5.

Looking forward to the days getting longer as well. Giving up coffee is seriously hard. Tried it last year and I had headaches, so decided to try and drink less.

It's a bit late here, too. Happy New Year to you as well.
