Evidently I need to check my blog more often – just had to wade through 152 spam messages – whoever decided to initiate the ‘have you heard this joke’ or ‘here’s a good joke for you’ way of spamming a person should be forced to listen to the self same lame jokes over and over for an indefinite period of time, after which I’ll set my father on them (38 years of hearing the same jokes could be a reason why I dislike jokes so much). Speaking of Dad – he turned 70 on 7 January – happy belated birthday Dad! They’re in Australia visiting my brother and family – from all accounts having a wonderful time.
As for my new year’s resolutions… yes I’m the type that makes wonderful promises* to myself – each and every year – only to have them fall by the way side round about 5 days into the new year, they haven’t quite fallen yet – probably because I haven’t started them yet either. I did however resolve 2010 was going to be the year of zero tolerance towards traffic fines and excessive medical bills. Twelve days into the year – relax, I haven’t done anything medically stupid (falling out a landrover and breaking one’s wrist is a once off event – *frantic tapping of wood*) – I received a speeding fine yesterday – bastard caught me doing 115 km/h in a 100 km/h zone. I have reavaluated my resolves and 2010 is the year of 1 traffic fine and zero tolerance towards stupid medical emergencies.
Oh yes, and I have also resolved to be more organised this year – so far that isn’t quite working out for me either.
And finally I have decided to devote today to researching how a way too light for her own good sleeper and a starting to snore way too much these days bloke can have an harmonious night life together.
*These promises are the same every year (give up red bull and lose weight) – have to give me 100 % for consistency and nothing for achievement.
