Hope you all had a fabulous Christmas and a good start to 2007. I'm back at work today and hoping this week flys by as I'm off to Austria on Saturday with Debbie and friends Jane & Nick for 7 fantastic days of skiing.
Christmas was mard by being apart from my beloved Debbie, who was called away to keep her Gran company in Cornwall. Not the best time of year to start comfort eating so inevitably I've suffered, as most, from a some what expanded waist line. Which reminds me did anyone make any new year resolutions? I started to think of a few but lost count after double figures. I don't know if all this is totally unrealistic but I think its good to have something to aim for.
1. Exercise to some extent everyday (sit ups and press ups minimum)
2. Work on my ability to kick (yoga stretching exercises minimum)
3. Read a book or blog at lunchtime instead of surfing the net
4. Make sandwiches at home instead of buying them from a shop
5. Make a concuss effort to become more organised and plan ahead
6. Make time for Guitar practice once a week
7. Go to Church at least once a month
8. Go back to Choi on 12th Feb and go at least twice a week when possible
9. Stop swearing
10. Make time for Spanish once a week
It was good to catch up with Jonny who has been working and studying in Romania for the past year for his Masters in Divinity coarse. A definite highlight was heading to Cambridge on Christmas Eve to attend the Nine Lessons at King's College. This service is probably the world's most famous carol service so inevitably its pretty hard to get into! I went with Jonny and we arrived at Cam at 9 for a service at 3 (Had we arrived half an hour later I don't think we would have got in!). After finding out at 10 that we had made the final 600 cut, Jonny and I queued for a further 5 hours which was actually quite a good laugh as we befriended those around us. Some of the people that we spoke to had come over from the US just so that they could attend the service! When we finally got in we enjoyed the highly impressive architecture, and then a very peaceful and awe inspiring celebration of the Christmas story through Scripture and song. All in all it was well worth the wait, and the day was rounded off nicely with an all you can eat Chinese back in good old Letchworth. 'All the best for your final year in Vancouver Jonny!'

Wow Rich....You've actually updated the blogg! I have to say the last part looked suspiciously like my entry...there's a name for that - blatant plagarism. You can expect to hear from my lawyer.
10 Resolutions! I'm imppressed! (perhaps I should hold of from being impressed until this time next year!!!!)
See you tomorrow bro!
P.S. Any chance you could give the old barnet a bit of a trim before we head off to the Public House.
Yes last bit was plagarised because I was short of time. Checks in the post!
I know 10 resolutions are OTT, but if I keep to half of them I'll be happy - Swore twice yesterday bxxxxx!
Yes I'll cut your hair but only if you drop the law suit.
