So... here we are again, New Years Eve.  Not sure where that year went.

I did my music review last week, so what else did I get up in 2012?  Well in truth not much really.  Me and Sham went to Egypt and Jordan (fantastic) and Sunny Beach, Bulgaria (disastrous).  It goes without saying I haven't blogged much.  I've got no excuse, I've thought about posting a few times but then lost the moment.  You know what it's like.

Watched far too much television which made a big contribution to my inertia.  Watched some mainly credible (in my eyes) TV box sets and some real garbage. 

Not sure whether The Big Bang Theory is credible or not to be honest but it's definitely been my guilty pleasure this year.  The science is great and Sheldon and Amy are wonderfully eccentric and funny but there's an unpleasant undertone/nastiness to some of the humour that leaves me feeling a little uncomfortable.  I still watch though so by my usual measure I'll see you in hell.

Watched the whole 8 series of 24 (8 x 24 = 192 episodes) plus a 2 hour special - it was mostly gripping and The Sopranos which mainly took my breath away.  It was just the best.   I've long since given up Coronation Street but I caught bits and pieces of other soaps (I'm blaming Shamila) and lots of other crap, E4 etc.

Shamila and I have continued to walk and we'd done 50 walks by the end of October.  Definitely my exercise of choice. 

And that's mainly it.

So 2013?  Well hopefully better than 2012.  As I said my odd years tend to be better than my even years so fingers crossed.  In today's i they listed the top 10 resolutions according to a seasonal survey (which probably means they did a 5 bar gates poll around the office).  Anyway, it went as follows,

1.  Read more books
2.  Save more money
3.  Lose weight
4.  Re-decorate
5.  Take better photos
6.  I want to go travelling
7.  I want to sell old stuff I don't want on eBay
8.  Buy a tablet
9.  Organise photos - print/delete/save etc.
10.Do something for charity.

not bad.  So why not?  I'll give that lot a go.  Maybe I'll even let you know how I get on.

Happy New Year
