Two Thousand And Great!
Posted by: Rowan in Personal Blog, tags: Fitness, Flat, Journal, Nephew, New YearHappy New Year! And welcome to what my good pal Trevor is calling Two Thousand And Great. Do you see what he did there? Pure genius.
I started this year drunk with friends, which seems appropriate. Then I had a McDonald’s strawberry milkshake to salve my hangover, which hit the spot, but isn’t exactly what I’d call starting as I mean to go on. I have a few new year’s resolutions, most of which I’d rather not share with the world, but I will at least tell you that I need to swim more. The complex where I live has an itty bitty pool you see, and a jacuzzi and a sauna. I use these occasionally, but that’s rubbish really – I should use them often. Partly to get value from my extortionally high rent, and mostly because I’m getting fat.
Those who know me will doubtless be thinking that I am not fat. And they’re kinda right. I’m no beached whale. However, I am decidedly less skinny than I used to be, and I do way too little excercise these days, so much more swimming is on the cards for me. Feel free to nag me, ask me how it’s going, or invite yourself round sometime for a cuppa and a swim. I’d love to see you. (Well, assuming I at least vaguely know you. I don’t want random strangers turning up at my flat please).
Contrary to most people’s new year’s resolutions, I think I should probably resolve to drink more alcohol this year. Seems only right. All help appreciated. However, first things first, I have to shake off the new year cold which has afflicted me… grrr!
Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas. I spent mine with family oop north, which was lovely, especially spending more time with my nephew (and now God Son!) Sebastian. He is doing well, can now sit up in a chair without support, turn pages of oversized plastic books despite not being able to read what’s on said pages, and appears to enjoy people pretending to eat bits of him. Oh to be 3 months old…!
Have a great year everyone
