Happy New Year

It has finally come around again, it only seems like 365days ago we were starting 2009 :-) Today was a glorious day weather wise, but alas decided to stay in and do stuff around the house including more tidying and sorting of christmas stuff. Again it was amazing to see how much cardboard, paper and plastic had been amassed with all those pressies. It was good to review all the fab items received and I hope everyone enjoyed theirs from the three of us.

I was looking through the guide that came with my gourmet club membership and wondered how I balance that with my new years resolution of eating less :-) There are certainly plenty of offers to keep us busy over the next year and looking forward to some great food.

For my other resolutions as already tweeted I shall be looking to try and do three 10K runs this year and take one photo everyday during 2010. I have set my site up ready for this activity at www.scouller.biz and now have selected my first photo which you can review on the site. But as we didn’t go out today it was a case of thinking about was could be used to capture New Years day 2010 so here are a few of the other shots that I took today.

Here more stuff to do…..

Excellent Xmas as usual with some fab gifts that includes a much anticipated AMG driving experience, but there is a condition been set by CJ that I cannot bring one home :-(  maybe two is the answer :-)

Have the most excellent Star Trek (II) on BR and looking forward to getting home to watch as no BR player here :-( oh well I can always watch the lower res version. I also got Inglorious Barsterds so interested to see if it lives up to the reviews.

Weekend

On Saturday went to Pimlico to meet up with Claire, Adam and Bruno for his 2nd birthday and a good time was had by all in Pizza Express. This is the first time we have been to a PE for a while and the menu has changed a bit, but still good food. There were too many choices, but I managed to pick the Bruschetta con Funghi followed by a Romana Pizza Etna which had a nice spicy warm taste :-) This was followed by birthday cake which was very nice all washed down with Coke and Coffee.

This is was followed on Sunday by a trip to Jackie and Kens for Mothers day lunch where three generations of mothers congregated to bend the childrens ears and receive suitable offerings from said siblings :-) Food was good and desserts even better. Ate far too much and no doubt will suffer over the rest of the week..

LCJ purchased for his mummy an electronic photo frame with suitable pictures of himself, it’s amazing what youngsters can do these days :-)
