Happy New Year

Happy New Year

I don’t usually make resolutions, as I know I’ll either break them or have forgotten them by the end of January. However, I had already been talked into doing so over at Sidepodcast.com, so I thought I might as well share my three very simple resolutions for 2009. Try and stick to a Wii Fit schedule. I enjoy it when I do it but quite often forget and only remember when I’m tucked up in bed.

Here come the drums, here come the drums

One of the things I regret from my lack of time these days is not attempting to play the piano anymore. I can’t honestly say that it’s all down to being busy, as I did hike a keyboard around with me through a couple of flats and it didn’t get much use. I don’t know where the motivation went but I do miss it. Playing music is great fun, and there’s nothing like jamming with anyone you can find who can also lay their hands on an instrument.

The key to keeping fit

It’s hula-hooping, right? Who knew that hula-hooping was actually hard work? Okay, so you’ve probably guessed it: I am now the proud owner of a Wii Fit. And it’s brilliant. At the moment, I’m still suffering the effects of a cold and wintry three-day stay in a tent, and can’t put the maximum effort into a routine. However, from what I know already, it’s brilliant. I’m not entirely sure how it does it, but the Wii Board knows everything about me!

Learning to share

Learning to share

We’ve managed to come into possession of a Nintendo DS Lite, and we cannot stop playing it. Or maybe that should read “I” cannot stop playing it. We fight over it like people fight custody battles. “I want to take it to work today.” “You won’t have time to play it.” “Lunchtime.” “I want it. Give it to me.” “It’s half mine.” “It’s half mine.” There’s no easy answer and we’re just going to have to draw up a schedule to share it.
