Here Goes

Usually, at the start of a new year I do two things, sort out the domestic filing, and join an evening class. So far, the filing has been reduced and, as in previous years, I suspect that come February something will crop up that makes me wish that I had not been so dramatic with the shredder.


As for evening classes, there does not appear to be much time, given that I started playing duplicate bridge at Horsham Bridge Club (HBC) after completing a basic bridge course in 2006. Additionally a small group of us meet locally and play once a week in the mornings.


Well, with the filing done and no need to join an evening classes there was nevertheless an urge to do something, but what? Ideally something that did not involve going out in the evenings but would present a challenge and develop a new interest; perhaps also provide an opportunity to vent my spleen ,which as I get older, seems to require more and more venting. After seeing Gordon Brown on the Andrew Marr show on Sunday last I am not sure I am more angry with: Gordon Brown for not answering any of the questions or Andrew Marr for letting GB off the hook.


I suppose at some stage all blogs have to provide a little background on who is behind them. Here goes - am the wrong side of 65, married with three grown up children, one daughter-in-law and one grandson. Interests range from bridge, tennis, sailing, photography, reading, gardening - all the usual things. However, the older I get the more interest I take in politics. Or should it be, the more frustrated I become with politicians - national and local.


That's possibly enough for a start. Forgive any howlers as it will take me a little while to sort things out. As its Tuesday its bridge at Horsham Bridge Club so I must get ready. Will update the site tomorrow with the result.
