2011. It doesn't seem possible. I remember all the years growing up that I used to think to myself "When it's the year 2000 I'll be 34!"
The thought that we're now 11 years past that blows my mind a little.
So as the first day of the New Year draws to a close, I hope that it's been good to all of you. I haven't exchanged a word with a single person today, unless one counts text messages (or soft toys!) and that's okay too. I was up until the wee small hours of the morning so was quite happy to have a relaxing day, just chilling.
Don't get the impression that I was out carousing till all hours, though. I went for a couple of sociable pints after work and was back in the house by 10 o'clock, I guess. Any more than three or four pints and it takes more than one day to get over it, which wasn't going to be practical as my last week of starting work at stupid o'clock commences tomorrow.
A new year is a time for new beginnings - resolutions and all that. I haven't made any resolutions at all but I do have a new beginning on the horizon. Monday the 10th I start my new job as a Project Specialist and I can't wait. I've been working with a very cool bunch of people and it'll seem odd not to be, but I'll still be in the same buiding. I'm ready for the new challenge and am itching to get at it. There's only one thing that I want more than the new job and you all know what that is.
New horizons in front of me and the love of the most beautiful girl in the world. Who knows what the next 12 months might hold? Not I, that's for sure. As an immediate wish, I'd kind of like it if the ringing in my ears from my fall would go away. I know that I was lucky but if I could push that luck just a little, the ringing is starting to bug me and my head is still a little tender. Enough, please!
I hope that 2011 brings happiness and joy to you all. May your dreams come true and may your problems all be itty-bitty ones!

Happy New Year to you my dear friend. Good luck for the new job, maybe you would like a trip to Bulgaria this year, we would love to see you.
I mentioned on my blog once that, when I was a child, I used to think about the age I'd be in 2000 (still older than you are now). This was met with general bemusement by commenters, so I'm glad I wasn't alone.
In my family, all the problems are scheduled to be little ones, which we're looking forward to.
Hope all goes well with your new job and towards your dearest wish, Greg.
I've had ringing in my left ear for over 15 years, not from a fall but as a result of water in my ear when I unknowingly had a hole in my eardrum. Not sure if you're on any medication but aspirin is notorious for giving/increasing ringing in the ears. If it continues, get it checked out smartish.
Thanks, ladies.
Bulgaria is possible, I would think. I'll see how things go!
The ringing isn't anything serious (I hope!). The doctors told me that it may take a couple of months to fade after my concussion. Not taking any aspirin but I do rattle with paracetamol, as I'm trying to fight off another cold.
