I can't quite believe that we are almost at the end of January. 1/12 of the year over already! This week has been 'challenging and interesting' in many ways. My father's health continues to be a cause for concern; more blood tests next week - hey ho!
My new pedometer arrived last week and it has so far avoided the watery grave reserved for its predecessors. This one seems to have a stronger clip than the others so I have high hopes for its survival. After another trip to the chiropractor I am now upright and walking normally. Back to tennis tomorrow.
Speaking of tennis, I had a very traumatic Sunday morning watching Andy Murray lose to Novak Djokovic in the Australian Open. It was a very close match for the first two sets but Mr D started to get the upper hand in the third set and I think by that point Mr M was mentally exhausted. It was a great tennis spectacle and though, of course, I would have preferred a different outcome Mr D was a worthy winner. I have high hopes for Mr M this year :-)
On the New Year Resolutions front, I am continuing to exercise and all that kind of good stuff. I have rather stalled on the reading front. Moby Dick is providing something of a challenge so I have given it time off for good behaviour and am now reading All the Light I cannot See by Anthony Doerr which is a bookclub book. I have continued with reading poetry; I have been reading work by Anna Letitia Barbauld this week. Quite liked Washing Day. I'm moving on to Coleridge next week. I started to enjoy his stuff towards the end of the OU course.
