The triumph of optimism over experience...

Say hello to our new arrival, Scampi... Mad as a sackful of badgers and cute as all get out. Pather and Poppy don't like her (what's new there?)

Hopefully she'll stay with us a pit longer than Korky did...

2009 - a mid-year review

Now that we've reached July, let's just see how things are going, shall we?:-

1. To get to see Arsenal play at least once this year - as predicted at the start of the year, this is not looking good
   
2. To visit a country I've never been to before - neither is this one
   
3. To start cycling again as soon as the weather improves - I've done a fair bit of cycling so far this year, but not nearly enough. Life tends to interfere with plans.
4. To generally get the oul' bod a bit more together - hmmm, well I'm walking as much as I can, but it's not enough really. I've had some interesting experiments with sobriety, though...:-)
   
5. To move house - hopefully next month!
   
6. To either change my car or keep it for longer - keeping it for another two years, hopefully
   
7. To have a better year at work than I had last year - pretty much the same as last year, unfortunately
   
8. To see friends more - done and done. More to do
   
9. Not to volunteer to do anything for anyone under any circumstance - well, I have volunteered for one or two things. One worked out fine and one should be pretty easy to accomplish. But I think I'll stop right there
   
10. To stop wrecking me own head - yeah right
