Here we go with 2011 and, as is traditional, I have made a batch of four resolutions.  I’m keeping two of them to myself but the other two are eminently sharable: firstly to get back 10K fitness by summer and secondly to plan and build the long rumoured Man-shed.

Both of these should be achievable although the former depends a little on this dratted knee sorting itself out.  The Man-shed has been taking shape in my mind since I first mentioned it here in July 2010 but the last four weeks have emphasised for me the need for insulation which is sufficient to cover exceptional circumstances.  The main blocker to it will be the degree to which I can do things myself as against whether I’ll be relying on tradesmen who will no doubt expect to be paid money which I don’t have.

But those are for later.  In the meantime my cold is slowly receding and the Battlestar Galactica marathon which sustained me is at a temporary end (until I pick up more DVDs as they appear second-hand).  I think I’ll go for a short walk to get some fresh air into me and then see where the day – and the new year – take me.
