New Year, New Resolution

Hmm, the first post was ok - but where was the rest? 

Update - I did the run - in a little over 3 hours.  I was quite pleased with that, as I had expected to do it in at least 4.  The burning question of the moment is "should I do it again?"  The training will do me good as, although I walk alot to work, I don't do much else.  Vicky and I have just started zumba!  I am not sure but VIcky is quite keen so I will continue in order to support her.

My next resolution is to learn how to make this blog more interesting and useful.  I am hoping the purchase of my new Samsung Galaxy SII will help.  It is my birthday present and was going to be an iphone, but I simply can't justify the expense of the i phone and no-one else seems to be able to either, even those who have them.  It just seems like it is something to "have", and I am just not into that.  But a better phone will be useful for both work and pleasure, so tomorrow i am off to Tesco to get it - as they seem to be doing the best deals at the moment.

Many of my christmas pressies comprised gardening and cookery books so that forms another resolution.  I have dabbled a little in the garden (my runner beans have been a triumph, darling) but would like it to do more.  I can then use said produce in my cooking if i ever get the freezer contents down.  We are currently "eating out of the freezer" but the volume doesn't seem to diminish.  It may be because of my addiction to Yellow Stickered "whoopsies" - i.e. foods that have been reduced to a fraction of their original price.  My freezer currently holds 4 blocks of stilton, reduced to 19p!  That will take some time to get rid of.

My final (ish) resolution is to do less browsing and more writing.  I am going to update the blog regularly and continue with the writing course, only for pleasure but I would very much like to improve my skills.

So - watch this space.  Things can only get better.
