I suppose I had better do the obligatory 'Happy New Year' post and make the necessary grumblings about resolutions and the like. Having discussed with Anthony (paragraph 4 I believe) my opinion on it being the most ridiculous time of year to make resolutions, he subsequently stole my ideas for his blog, so if you wish to know what I think go look there ;)

But a new year is indeed upon us. Why we think that everything is going to change I don't know. Nothing will, we just get older and more wrinkly that's all. Time just ticks on in its usual way and we all continue to tread on the same paths as the day before.

New Year's Eve itself was spent in good old Essex and was a most pleasant experience. So thank you to all involved there. This was followed by a visit to my dad's where a third Christmas took place, thanks to all at that party too :)

2005 holds little inspiration, it will bring a retirement, two unwanted birthdays, a continuing lack of cash flow, and an increase in gym visits and diets. Aside from that...nothing as yet. Rest assured if anything exciting does happen, I will be unable to resist letting you know. I don't get the chance all that often after all :)

Russell Grant holds out more hope than I do.
