pish

 Happy new year!  We started our day with the traditional new year trudge and stopped for a photo opportunity by this graffiti, which has been doing the rounds for a fair few months.
Dulcie's very into copying these days, so she quickly adopted this squatting pose.  No shame.

Dulcie walked for MILES today and not just straight miles either - we also stopped off at a play park and an outdoor gym.  We finally wrestled her into her pram when her knees started to buckle under her weight.  We always end up going for a long wander on new year's day, but this was a particularly nice one, through the parks and along by the river.  There were loads of people doing the same thing.  Our other new year tradition is a Chinese takeaway, something we always devour with great gusto, knowing that the new regime begins on January 2nd!  I've contemplated lots of resolutions for this year, but have decided not to bother.  It was a bit depressing to look back on last January and realise how much my resolve dissolved over the course of the year.  I always have the same aims in the back of my mind (getting my house and my health in the best order they can be while making time for craft and other fun activities) no matter the time of year, so I think I'll just continue to strive towards that without officially resolving anything.  What are your plans for the year ahead?

  1. Happy New Year to you all too! I'm sorry to say we have been very unhealthy with no trudging and the mention of a Chinese carryout has made me hungry! Enjoy your last day of gluttony! Been lovely reading about Dulcie's December. Look forward to Joyous January. Auntie Ruth X

    1. And you! I don't think anyone should attempt to start a new regime until January 2nd at least. Go on, phone your local takeaway!

  2. I have started knitting a sky blanket, inspired by the Bugs and Fishes-blog. This involves knitting a few rows every day in 2014, in a colour matching the sky. So far, quite a lot of grey, but I have plenty of blue yarn in stock :)

    1. Here's hoping you get the chance to use all that blue, Hilde :)

Hello! I'm sorry that I've had to turn on the word verification feature again, but my inbox was being flooded with very dull spam. Genuine comments always brighten my day though, so thank you for taking the time to leave one :)
