Happy New Year
Goodbye and Good Riddance to 2009! Our personal annus horribilus - from the trivial (Newcastle United’s perpetual self destruct) to the tough (hard year to run a retail business) and the tragic (loss of two very special, and much missed people, Dad and Aunty Mary) there has not been a lot to smile about. There have seemed to be some positive signs in the last quarter so the New Year is time to put last year behind us and look forward with optimism. Newcastle are currently top, business is looking up, and we have been reminded of the need for family time.
I’m hopeless at sticking to resolutions but I’ll make some anyway:-
- Lose Weight, eat less, drink less, (OK, not original, not likely to do too well at it, but New Year’s Eve saw me tipping the scales at a new record 14 stone 7 lbs in old money, no idea in kilos - definitely time to do something)
- Exercise more (not my favourite activity, but I do need to be a bit fitter)
- Make time for family & friends (spend a bit more time with family, make time to have lunch with old friends - while avoiding conflict with first resolution above, make time to visit family and friends off island)
- Allow a little me time (take time off, use the boat, travel)
- Push the business forward (we have a good platform, time is right to push on now)
That’s probably enough resolutions - let’s see how I’m doing in a month!
