Out with the old, and in with the new: Happy New Year and all that

So that was 2007.

Here's my personal highs and lows.

Highlights

• An early break in February at Center Parcs (Longleat) - terrific
  
• Seeing my niece (and God daughter) get married in May - a great family wedding
• Another great holiday in Majorca, in Puerto Pollensa
• Playing for my cricket club (Dinas Powys CC) against an invitation Glamorgan XI as part of our 125th anniversary celebrations.
• Seeing my (then) 12 year old son in his first proper senior cricket match take 4-13 with his legspin against Blaengarw
• A brilliant family weekend break in early September in the Gower as part of the celebrations for my in-laws 60th wedding anniversary
• Watching City put up a great performance against Liverpool at Anfield in the 4th round of the Carling Cup

Lowlights

• Exacerbation of the arthritic problems with my knee, resulting in me being listed for an operation - if I was a horse they'd shoot me
  
• Noticably deteriorating eyesight - need my glasses more and more
• Haven't won the lottery (yet) - well not enough to retire on
• Seeing Michael Chopra go to Sunderland for £5m
• Watching Cardiff City underachieve after a great start to the 06/07 season.
• Watching Cardiff City underachieve in the first half of the 07/08 season
• The rainy summer

So there we go - I'm sure there are more in both categories, but that's what I can think of now.
Into 2008, and let's hope it's a good one for everyone.

Naturally I have a couple fo New Year resolutions

• Lose weight (I've been saying that for about 8 years)
• Take my good lady out more - never seem to have the time - always in front of the PC, playing cricket or skittles etc etc
• Be more tolerant......well maybe two out of three!

Happy New Year!!!
