Monday 2nd January

As a younger man I would meticulously make New Year Resolutions with every intention of keeping them.  Sometimes they actually lasted a few weeks, but they often fell at the first hurdle.  Nowadays I find it far harder to make resolutions; partly because of experience – but largely because I have achieved a state of so near perfection that I am finding it harder and harder each year to think of any improvements.

So this year I am inviting you, my readers to think of New Years Resolutions; both for yourselves and for me.  Please feel free to send me back your suggestions or to ignore this at your will,
