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.

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.

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!

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.
