I really should know better – know that when I’m short of time or my mood is twitchy I should just nod and pass on by rather than stop, be polite and listen to the moans and groans that eminate from a certain ‘friend’ I ocassionally see in one of the local supermarkets
Happy New Year, I said this morning- I wonder what new beginnings are ahead of us this year?
None! she said.  It’ll be the same old, same old, tarted up in a different form.  New Year’s a bit like some of these big businesses, what do they do when they’re losing money – we’re going to Begin Anew with fresh ideas they say.  Gosh they think we’re daft and haven’t seen it all before.  Her name might be Maureen but she’s known as Moaning Minnie to me 😊
Here it is only a few hours past and she’s got me wondering whether it really will be better than last year or will it be a rehash, just tarted up in a different form?
New Years Eve saw us in bed well before the witching hour which meant (thanks to early morning birdsong) we were awake a bit earlier than usual on New Years Day.
Do you remember that old saying
Early to bed, Early to rise.
Makes a Man Healthy Wealthy and Wise
Do you think it works on December 31st?
Last year wIth restraint and the help of our lovely GPs our Health wasn’t too bad, with restraint and the help of my little exercise book (and yes, digital spreadsheets) our Wealth wasn’t too bad either

It’s just the Wise bit that’s got me a little worried 😊
This was the 76th New Year my body saw in. Do you reckon I’m going to be any wiser at the end of this one?
Happy New Year to you all. Let’s all make it a good un’
