Things I would like to achieve in 2009 (AKA) New Year Resolutions...

Well it's that time again. Time to make a list of things that you would really really like to do for the year. Things that would make a difference to your life and break the "groundhog day" cycle. If I could remember where I put last years list I could have a look at it to see whether I was an achiever or a failure in the class of 2008...

This year I have a short but challenging list...

1. Complete a fitness program (Body For Life) and maintain that fitness for the rest of the year... When I do that I will be fit, healthy, slim/athletic for the rest of my life.

2. Establish my photography business and make a decent second income working around my current job.

3. Find someone to share it all with...

I'm sure that I will lose this list too... That's why I made it short.

Each of the items will require focus, dedication and commitment, sacrifices, stress and (some) loss of sleep. But the rewards will be worth it...

Happy New Year to one and all, may it be prosperous and rewarding...

Merry Christmas...

Merry Christmas one and all...

As I sit watching Ewan McGregor ride from the top of Africa to the bottom in "Long Way Down". It reminds me that there is so much more out there than I am achieving at the moment.

This year has been yet another that I could have done better than I have...

What can I do about that?

Well, for a start there are some New Year resolutions that I could make...

1. Stop procrastinating
2. Make some goals
3. Develop a plan to reach those goals
4. Develop an action plan to make those goals achievable
5. Start working on meeting the objectives of the plan
6. Stop procrastinating
7. Plan how to stop procrastinating
8. Work out how to stay above zero
9. Stay above zero for 12 months
10. Procrastinate less

See you in 2009!

If you go down to the pond today...

Well, for a start, there's water in it! We had a fair bit of rain yesterday, the most for a very long time. It's still dry as a whole but today there is mud about!

I have a pond near the front door with a resident goldfish. Recently the pond plants were replenished and today when I walked out I saw this little fella sunning himself...

A quick city walk...

I went for a walk around the Queen Victoria Market this morning. The market isn't open on Monday but now that I have the times it is open I will try to get back there then.

I noticed a couple of things to photograph, the first image is a picture of someone else's image. The artist photographer was mentioned in the local paper last week and for the life of me I cannot find the article or the photographer but I will keep searching. The second image is the right way up! One of the buildings had a structure over the footpath that has a mirror finish the girls were just out the front having a chat when I looked up.
