Welcome, 2008
Weight: 14 st 11 (v.bad)
Cigarettes: 0 (v v good)
Calories: not counting
Alcohol units: 0
Drugs: 0
January 2008. Yes, Bridget-speak is v. passe, however as discovered Darling One, who is all of 11, reading Bridget Jones diary - which she got as a library book from school - have decided to employ it, if only in attempt to revitalise dead blog.
Horrified - almost - to see on page 4 of said book, the word "dildo". Even worse, 2 pages on, the assertion that nothing puts men off more than feminism. Unsure which subject, if any, to broach first with daughter.
New kitchen has been fitted in house. More debt, ha ha ha. Time now to revitalise carpet which frankly in places is shagged and think about replacing bannisters, which are also looking theadbare in places as they have been broken in a variety of ways. Then there's a new plasma screen to buy, and new sofas as the old ones are looking knackered and out of place.
Spend, spend, spend, for soon the credit will be withdrawn from us all.
In putting up new kitchen, had to dispose of old fridge freezer, and remove all the photos off it. Most of the good bits of the last 4 and a half years of my life were on there, either in photo form or in the fridge magnets holding them on. Venice, Prague, Amsterdam, Hong Kong, Berlin, Dominica, Nice, lots of places, photos full of familiar faces, money spent, time gone, is it time now, to move on ?
Sorry for sub-Streets style doggerel there.
But it has been strange to realise, as I have recently, that this is the longest I've ever lived in one place. And also longest that I have lived on my own; which I still love.
I've no idea what 2008 is going to bring. In many ways it looks set to be an incredible year for me. I wish I could say the same for some people I love; bad news being the main reason I haven't blogged for so long, which seems so self-indulgent in the wake of things happening to others I love right now.
I'm just glad that finally I've put an entry up which replaces at the top of this blog the diatribe - which I still stand by - against Sharia law.
Anyway, I'll be better at keeping the blog from now on. Promise.
