A very happy New Year to you. Was last year as good for you as it was for me?
I’ve been looking at the plans/resolutions I made at the start of last year and thinking about how I got on with them:
- Run – Yes! Been running regularly and did my first 10k this year in a very respectable time.
- Be more sociable – Yes, mostly. Still have hermit tendencies.
- Camp – Hmmm, no.
- Play guitar – Again, no. Marco’s scared of the guitar. But Marco’s scared of a lot of things. That shouldn’t have stopped me.
- Go to a new country – Two. Ireland and Switzerland.
- Get Marco to stop barking at my neighbours’ granddaughters – Yes, but we moved. Not sure that counts.
- Climb a couple of Munros – Yes! Three.
- Drink less wine – Last month, no. Generally, yes.
- Bake more bread – Yes. Lots.
- Sing more – Yes. Lots.
And my list for this year:
- Learn to play the guitar. Lessons perhaps…
- Run a half marathon. Signed up for the Edinburgh one in April.
- Learn to make pasta.
- Take more pictures of people
- Update – Do more crosswords.

Happy New Year to you Wendy! I think your 2009 was a little more exciting than mine, but I am going to work on 2010. I too tend to be a hermit, especially in winter. I have enjoyed reading your blog and I love your recipes. Looking forward to your 2010 postings!!
A Happy New Year to you and yours.
I’ve decided that, as I make the same resolutions every year, I might as well give up with them.
Great goals – nothing beats handmade pasta! Loved your NCR-winning photo 🙂
Happy New Year and best of luck with your resolutions.
happy new year, wendy!
good luck with your resolutions. i never make any, but the ‘learn to play guitar’ go me thinking… i did pay the guitar for many years once upon a time, maybe i should begin again? on the other hand, there are so much more things i’d like to do/have that’s more pressing, hm. rambling in the new year am i…:)
congrats on the winning of ‘no croutons required’ too!
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year Wendy!
Goood luck with your resolutions. I like the one about the half marathon – something I would love to do, but feel I would need more that a year to be fit enough. Maybe thats a resolution for 2011!
Love all your photos too!
Gale – Not sure my year would be described as exciting by many but I enjoyed it. 🙂 Glad to hear you like my blog.
Trekkie – I was the same but last year I set out some things I wanted to do and did most of them. Not resolutions, really, just… stuff.
Rachel – Thank you! I was really chuffed.
CynthiaK – Thank you!
Pia – Ahh, you have a head start. Go for it!
Cynthia – And to you too!
James B – Well, a friend of mine has just signed up for it too and he’s not fit at all either so… 😉
Hey Wendy
I like the idea of resolutions, but only when I see other people doing them, as I’m crap with them really.
I do however like the idea of taking more photographs of people, as historically I don’t, as I think you need a different eye for people…hmm maybe it is just me, but let me know how you get on
Have great 2010
Roo
happy new year – love the collage – and love to hear an update on your resolutions – that makes them meaningful – and you seem to have done well even if you have to move house to achieve some of them 🙂
Am curious – What does marco do when he hears the guitar? is there any guitar for dogs?
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year and all the best for 2010!
