So much for Resolutions!

Why do I do it? Just as expected, I have spectacularly failed my new year's resolutions. Well, I have drunk slightly more water than before and cut sugar from my tea. So whilst not a complete disaster I have neglected the two most important: a) keeping in contact with friends, and b) updating this lovely blog. Oh well, 8 months to make up for it and then I can make some more realistic resolutions.

Lots has happened since the last post. Here is a very quick summary:

Dressed up as Woody the Cowboy from Toy Story in an attempt to promote English through film; got hit on by a traffic warden whilst dressed as Woody even though I still had to pay the fine; Had my first visitor, Bronwyn, with whom I circumnavigated the entire of Gran Canaria in the space of three days; got a haircut from a hairdressers where I came out with more cut than hair; booked into a spa hotel to discover half of the facilities were in the nudist section of the hotel, something that the website kindly failed to point out; dressed up as Danny from Grease to go out during the craziness that is carnival week; spent too much in the sales and even more in the second sales including three coats, two jackets, countless t-shirts, all perfect if I had a limitless luggage allowance on my return; had my second visitors, my mum and dad, who I took to all the best restaurants I knew; island hopped to both Lanzarote and Fuerteventura care of Binter Canarias cheap flights; flown home for an interview that never happened; taught ballroom dancing and watched the royal wedding in 30 degree heat whilst eating a proper fried breakfast.

Phew! That was quite a mouthful but there was a lot to catch up on. Okay so this week I am going to be better. Drinking water, doing exercise, updating my blog and keeping up to date with friends.  Oh and I should probably get out of the habit of writing in lists too!
