Return from the....

It's been awhile. I suspect those words come up a lot this time of the year. I was cleaning out my favourite links when I came across the link to a mate's blog. I haven't blogged/read blogs in months so it was fun to sit back and start from the most recent post and go back a bit, getting a feel for all that he'd been up to in a while.

After a few posts, it was clear that he has had a good year and I stopped reading and wrote an email to say as much and a bit more. Then I remembered my own neglected blog and thought I'd leave a quick post.

The year has been extremely eventful but I've hung on and have enjoyed most of it. The year-end holidays capped it off well...with a very enjoyable few days beach side. Sun, sea and sand while humming ..."Some people stand in the darkness, afraid to step into the light....." and fantasizing about bronzed Baywatch lifeguard in tight red shorts!

Have spent a few days in front of the tele catching the Ashes series....which hasn't been a great showing from an Australian perspective though British followers who happen to be cricket fans will certainly be thrilled with their men who batted and bowled exceptionally well in Adelaide and Melbourne and...it would be negligent to not give special mention to their efforts on the Boxing Day test in Melbourne, effectively sealing the series.

Don't spend too much time thinking of new year resolutions but there is a fair bit on the to-do list rolling forward from last year.

Dear readers...hope you've all had a relaxing break and wishing you a fantastic year ahead!!
