When I was a youngster, I used to head off to the library every week and come back laden down with new books.  No matter how many I borrowed, they would always be read and taken back by the next week.

Over the years, the number of books I have read has dwindled away though.  Every now and again I would pick up a book and rediscover the joy of reading a good book which would prompt me to start another as soon as that one was finished.  However, this would only last a short while before I had lost the habit and returned to my lazy ways.

I’ve not fully decided on any New Year Resolutions as yet, but yesterday saw me make a good start to something which will likely feature as one of them - it appears most years after all!!

That is that I should try to eat more fruit and veg, and to be healthier all-round.

So yesterday I started 2009 with an apple.  Or indeed an Apple - a MacBook Pro to be precise.

Muchly excited, having lusted after one for what seems like years!!   This is the first post to be written on it and I must say the keyboard is simply gorgeous, as is the whole machine truth-be-told.
