Default Good riddance to 2010

It hasn't been a good year...

I got a jumper from FatFace for Crimble, it had a tickage on it saying 'it's never too late to be the person you wanted to be' or similar. Too right.

I've got a really painful right shoulder, D/K how I did it, means that running is difficult, so I'm dusting down my pushbike. It's ancient, 15 years old, but I want to get into cycling and this is the start. We went to church on Christmas Day and the vicar has half talked me into learning to play the church pipe organ. It's a 2 manual thing with 32 pedals and lots of stops and looks intimidating I can just about do piano, completely crap player, I'm going to have to practise And whereas before if something went wrong on the bike, car or house I'd pay someone to fix it, those days have gone....

Watch out for a more laid back Edski in 2011

Yep not been a brilliant 2nd half of the year for us, but one thing that I always keep in my mind, were lucky in a lot of ways and this year could have turned out a lot worse so I'm thankful for that.

Hope next year improves for you Ed

When you are just happy to wake in the morning lifes trials and tribulations become secondary.Lets be honest,bad in comparison maybe, but you still have a warm bed and food in your belly---plus still playing motorbikes,it could be a lot lot worse.

After spending the first half of the year in and out of hospital and in intense pain for the best part of it, I'm glad to see the back of 2010. The high point of the year was riding my bike off the ferry in Malta after riding though Europe, and then meeting up with Zunkus for a great day on the bikes a few days later.

Well, past few years for me have been pretty shocking so I am not holding out any hope of a better year next year.

Woke up this morning, stretched out my arms and didn't knock against wood.

I'm alive, I'm happy

You need a positive outlook on it all, then things start to get better without you even trying.

Same as a few others I had a crappy year, hasn't been great its taken me to the edge...

On the upside I learnt that I should be able to get back to full health, family stuff seems a bit a better, January could turn out to be a very interesting month.

I have pair 30" wasite designer jeans hung up that I want to fit back into...only 14 lbs to lose
