Good morning to you all and a Happy New Year! We’ve had a fairly pleasant week with moderately tolerable weather – the cold, cold, cold spell the forecasters were predicting has not arrived (yet) and, for the most part, we’ve had reasonably dry skies. That’s not to say we’re any less water-logged than we have been recently – the recreation ground where Miss Miggins and I stroll of a morning, is absolutely sodden and the railway cutting, which has featured in previous posts, is still under water and hence, impassable.

14. Get further into debt (easy thanks to #13).
15. Wait for opportunity to knock.
16. Focus on the faults of others.
