Happy New Year
Jan. 2nd, 2007 08:54 amCelebrated the New Year with my mother. It didn't go according to the plan. A few years ago we did this at her "club", and while the Hoddesdon and Broxbourne Con Club was full of elderly right wing farts, they were fun, elderly right wing farts and the club steward was an old school 60s entertainer who'd played with Adam Faith and had a band who had played with pretty much everything.
As we're moving this month, Mum wanted to see us and M and I decided that this would be a bearable way of spending the festivities. It wasn't. John, the entertaining Steward had left and was replaced by a line dancer with more than a little similarity to Lurch. The entertainment was a 60s vintage rocker who believed that he could sing and play the guitar. He could do neither.
We hid in another bar and left as soon as was acceptable.
We said our goodbyes to a tearful and very hungover Mum in the early afternoon and crawled around the north circular home. Now the hardwork begins.
Have a happy new year all, as for the resolutions...
Well, I would like to get my weight back down to what it was a few years ago which means actually exercising more. I have reasonably high hopes. Actually living in Seattle rather than going there every 3 weeks might make that a lot easier to achieve.
I'd like to Blog more on sensible matters. With luck, and a prevaling wind, I might not have to travel anywhere near as much. What these sensible matters might be is anybody's guess. I'll let you know.
Generally speaking, from a work perspective, I want to be more "detached". I've been too involved and monomanical about it. I don't like that, I don't like what it does to me. So, I'm going to try and improve on that to.
Ok.
On the subject of work, I need to speak to a Korean about a phone. Later!
