Back To The Grind

Christmas and new year have passed again. I've had people telling me how, as you get older, time starts to accelerate and before you know it, you are middle aged. Well, happily, I'm not middle aged yet, but I am starting to get worried about how often Christmas seems to come and go. It's also bizarre to think that this time next year, we'll have celebrated Christmas with our new baby, and life will be another kind of different by then. Hey ho, it's all good stuff, none the less!

New year for us was very quiet. Neither of us are particularly big fans of new year, so we elected to stay in the house and watch some suitably cheesy television. Luckily, there was a 3 hour top 100 most annoying celebrities on, so that kept us going until 12.30 or so when we called it a night. We did flip over to Jools at 11:59:45 to see in the new year before flipping back to the celebrity prats program. Not bad I though, we'd managed to condense the new year celebrations down to about 30 seconds. It was marvellous!

And now I'm back at work, and Lisa is back on placement. F1 is just about finished and I've been assigned to the new concepts team, so hopefully the coming year will be interesting, working on new concepts for games. I've gotten myself back to the gym, if only for the past week, but I'm fired up to get back into the red hot training regime of days gone by, so that i can shift this side of ham that seems to have gotten strapped to my torso over the past year.

This year is going to bring lots of change, and hopefully mark the start of an exciting new part of my life, so let's raise a metaphorical glass to 2007, and take a symbolic sip!

Happy new year!
