Hello Blog.

I'm not one for New Year's resolutions normally, I've always found they were like gym memberships: you start out with great gusto but within a week or two you have a packet of crisps in one hand, a wine in the other and you're a gym membership poorer. Not only that but on a monthly basis your bank balance tells you that you remain a paid member of the gym yet your bottom is still bulging. The moral of the story is that guilt immediately takes over from that pious 'why yes I do belong to a gym' feeling from the week you joined and shame will forever keep you paying the fees until you build up the courage to let the gym know that you have in fact quit. So I am self banned from joining gymnasiums and I usually have a blanket ban on New Years Resolutions, although that may be that for me, and 97% of the world's resolution making population, the two are in fact one and the same thing. Not this year. This year I am being resolute. This year I have officially resolved to commence keeping a blog. I am doing well. I have started. We shall ignore that it is halfway through February. Hello Blog, I am pleased to meet you.
