29 Dec 10 New Year Yard

I don’t much care for New Year Resolutions. It’s just an arbitrary date, and often resolutions are made after a booze-filled New Year’s Eve party; or it’s almost the reverse, one has waited until New Year’s Eve to start something that could well have been commenced weeks or months before.

Still, this coming year for me is certainly a time to be looking forward, and a break with the immediate past. 2010, was, in many ways, my ‘annis horriblis’ and I have no wish to repeat it in 2011.

A new job is on the immediate horizon, and of course being in a new location helps that break with 2010.

One thing I am going to concentrate on is trying to lead a more healthy lifestyle. Although my work has largely been sedentary, and although I’m not a couch potato with remote in hand, I do tend to spend too much time in front of the computer, sitting on my butt.

One thing I am going to do, is dig up this back yard, and start growing something to eat in it. I’m intending to post some photographs here at The Eye, as I go along, so you can see what progress I’m making.

This also means there will be a lot of fresh fruit and vegetables, so I’ll have no excuse at not eating more of them!
