Blimey!

On a lovely day like this and everybody seems to be ill! It is rather worrying. I shall be going for an outdoor swim this evening followed by a show at The Pheasantry on the Kings Road.

My Christmas In Ten Pictures











and of course,

























Heating

Has anyone else got the heating off? I actually don't mind a colder house but this season has been particularly bad. My flatmate however is never very keen to turn on the heating outside its alotted schedule. I think (hope) its a money issue. Whilst I normally keep quiet about it I have to say that she currently looks more than a little strange. She has a visitor with her and they are both sat around the advent candles, shivering. Huh!!!!! Surely a visitor would merit switching the heating on for at least a little while?!

Resolutions

I like New Year Resolutions. I know a lot of people pooh-pooh the idea but I have always enjoyed the idea of striding out to do something new during a period of miserable weather and long dull evenings. Thankfully giving up smoking is no longer an issue but whilst maintaining my weight for a year, I have let slide a little. A mix of impenetrable weather, the party season and late nights have meant that I have put on a not inconsiderable amount of weight. So here is my list of resolutions for the 2011.

1. Loose weight - yawn!
2. Concentrate on Stomach and Butt exercises - I have an app for that - more later.
3. Swim in all the pools belonging to GLL Swim London - 40 in total.
4. Aim to lift myself from the pool without using the steps - there will be no pics of that!
5. Help with a charity - not sure which yet.
6. Do the lottery on a weekly basis.
7. Drink more water - 3rd year in a row with that one.
8. Find more time to paint - eek!
9. Become a better blogger/social networker - see Scott Matthewman.
10. Find time for creative writing.

Not earth shattering, I know but all of them are achievable and hopefully I will not have given up by the second week in January.

PS

For all the photographs I have taken, the best will appear in my Review of 2010, which according to my track record, should be ready by about March!
