Don’t feel like writing, but I just had to do that binary header!
HAPPY NEW YEAR ONE AND ALL.
Lazy few days since coming home. It’s been really icy. I tried to go to the shops on Monday, but the canal side was treacherous, so we made do with what we had in. I intended walking to the Doctors for my tablets - 2 miles away - but as I had spares in I left it.
Tuesday, tried again. Different shoes. I got as far as next door, but was sliding all over the place, so gave up.
Wednesday. Took car as I felt safer in that, and did a shop.
Thursday. (New Year’s Eve) We heard Fiona is doing well. She looked and sounded very perky on Skype. 36 weeks pregnant now. She won’t be allowed to go over 40 weeks cos of her age. Martin Junior’s head is in place, but he’s not ’settled’ yet. Don’t know what they’re going to call him. John keeps calling him Angus!!!
Up in Scotland, Kieran broke a snooker cue so had to sit on the naughty step. Ali said for two hours, but I doubt very much if she or Kieran could sustain that.
Today, I overslept, due to a lovely meal and wine, and would have been very late for Mass, but remembered there was an 11am one in Goole, ten miles away. I really wanted to start the New Year well by going to Mass, so I’m glad I made the effort.
Unfortunately, the rest of the day (it’s gone 5 pm now) has been just lazing about. I made a top in Photoshop for Second Life. Will post a piccy when I get round to it.) Think I’ll read a photo magazine so I can get rid of it. It is a bank holiday after all.
No New Year’s resolution to talk of. Basically I’d like to lose weight by exercising, not dieting. John and I bought a Wii between us for Christmas, but John got it and it’s the Sport one, not the Fit one. Think we buy the Fit component separately.
I did a bit of the Sport programme and have a fitness age of 61. I’m 65 but that’s digraceful. Must have a go soon, and improve on it.
I like to have a sort of motto/mission statement each year, and think this year it will be ‘Just Love.’ This will mean two things.
a)Just simply get on with doing the loving thing
b) the loving thing has to be ‘just’ - connotations of the Third World etc.
I think a long version would be the quote
To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. …
