Happy New Year!

   
  
Resolutions

Happy New Year, everyone – I hope your holiday break was better than mine - I won’t bore you with the continuing tales of woe that befell the Paterson household over the Christmas period.

I’m not normally one for making New Year’s Resolutions, but let’s see if I can stick to these.

  1. Here’s one for you.
    A woman confided to me yesterday that she’s a correct grammar stickler.
    ‘Between you and I,’ she said, ‘people that can’t even use their own language properly really get on my wick.’
    I think she might have meant wick-et, as in sticky.

  2. I was almost at the point of hitting the send button earlier this week when I realised that three references to ‘principals’ I had made in an email should in fact have been ‘principles’.

    Doh!

  3. Oh, and the New Year’s resolutions are doing dreadfully, with the exception of ‘Read more’.

    ‘Cycle Every Week’ – hampered by ill health – the children’s and my own, although things are looking up.

    ‘Write more’ – Ditto

    ‘Cut the Junk’ – mmmm. Variable levels of success, but I have been encouraged by the tail end of a programme I caught earlier in the week about pockets of centenarians.
