As I try to get my brain into gear that we are now in 2011, I realise that my New Year resolutions are a bit thin on the ground. Perhaps I’m a cynic/realist/have the will power of a new born babe but I don’t think there’s much point to my pronouncing commandments such as ‘thou shalt not eat biscuits’ or ‘thou shalt swim every day until sink from exhaustion’…

Attainable goals, isn’t that the key to success? So, here’s one we’ll see if survives the week: I will not spend my train journeys comatose but will read new books (not flick through old ones) or write pithy blog entries (such as this, kind of…) – the latter which should put me in Chiara’s good books at least!
