New Year's Resolutions - Part 2 & 3

My second and third resolutions this year are once again related to "Food and Language" although not in the same way that Gordon Ramsey is!

Last year I decided that I would lose weight, (ostensibly by eating less food and exercising more) and over the course of the year actually lost fifteen pounds!!

[Waits for cheers and rapturous applause from across the world to stop]

This year I may actually gain weight as I have resolved to cook more - possibly inspired by the valiant efforts and wonderful results of my dear son, (who shall hereafter and henceforth be known as) Moog.

For the non-family members who don't know me so well, "...cooking more" could also be as accurately described as "...cooking", as long as you don't include my previous "signature" dish of Pizza, chips and beans!

Not only did I resolve to cook more I actually went out and bought a cookbook - Delia's Complete Illustrated Cookery Course - at a cost of £12.99. A very good price and easily affordable as I even had change from the fifteen pounds that I had previously lost (see above) but later found down the back of the sofa.

The results of this resolution will be published here as events unfold, as long as we survive!

As for the Language related resolution, last year I tried English but gave up half way through the year so I have decided to lower my sights and attempt Spanish and French!!
