Flooding

I feel sorry for everyone affected by severe weather and/or flooding (it can't be much fun being a ground worker or builder).   It was nice to see the sun out yesterday, but I couldn't help but wonder how long it would be before the council imposed a hose-pipe ban....

Happy New Year

I always cut out alcohol between New Year's Day and St Valentine's Day to give my poor old liver a six week break.  The flab seems to just melt away.  Rather than slip back into the comfortable routine of getting home from work, putting my feet up and enjoying a few choice ales, I shall limit myself to one or two of a Friday evening.

This year, I AM going to be in shape for the summer.
