New Year and Update

Here it is, a new year, I could say that I hope it's better than the last one, but 2012 was ok, ended a bit weird for me but I seem to be on the mend. The last week has been relatively grumble free, maybe the new drugs are having an effect on that, large dose of Zantac twice a day is keeping the doctor away. 

Still missing the curry, not going to chance it for a while, have had a few beers over the Christmas period, but too many, and my stomach seemed to manage them ok. Back to work tomorrow, that should be interesting considering some attitudes towards my absenteeism over the last month and a half, but will probably have to have a chat with some people to set them straight and what I will be capable of for the foreseeable future.

Have started a new photography project via Facebook, to take pictures during the week based upon a single word. Hopefully people will continue to send in suggestions for me to choose from, or allow a certain degree of democracy to choose one for me. Anyway the results of what I manage will be posted here as well, so keep an eye out for them. The words of the week will be in alphabetical order, so obviously I am starting at the beginning with 'A'.

So the word for this week is - Austerity.

Wish me luck ;)

New Beginnings

New year, new beginning, new starts and time for a change. Or so they say, what does the new year bring, nothing new, same old same old. An arbitrary date for an arbitrary year. Mr Gregorian has a lot to answer for.

Time is constant, unyealding inflexible and always in constant motion, forward. So not one for making resolutions, a kind of promise is made to myself, that being to get out more and stop vegging infront of the TV watching endless episodes of old sci-fi series.

So it was a nice surprise to have a message on my answering machine from Dunc, telling me he was over for a week from Germany, and was wanting to go out for beers.
