So the New Year has properly begun, with James and Ally back at work, travelling in to town together by train every morning. They use an app on their phones to check whether the train is on time so that they can calculate whether they have a few more minutes in hand. Davie is still on holiday from university and I’m very proud of how hard he is working on his dissertation. He has been working on it solidly since he came home for the Christmas break, and he has showed me his colour coded plan where he keeps track of which sections he has completed. Jamie has been very busy at work over Christmas and New Year, but he has a holiday coming up next week which he is going to spend travelling with friends in New Zealand. I’m glad that he’s taking some time off to relax.
As for me, my first aim this year is to work on my fitness, with the aim of walking at least five kilometres a day and also swimming or skiing at the snow dome. So far so good, but it’s only the 8th of January so it’s very early days. I have also been looking after Grandma, getting her hearing aids fixed and arranging eye appointments and just going round for a wee chat and a cup of tea. And I am continuing to make efforts with home cooking, particularly aiming to use up leftovers to reduce waste. I made a celery gratin yesterday using only ingredients that we already had in the house and James said that it was delicious.
It has been a positive start to the year so far.
