I'm back baby!

Well it has indeed been a long time since my last posting. Sorry about that. It's the new year, this being 2012 and I have decided that it is high time I start recording my thoughts and rantings so that my progeny can look back at the person I was and ponder on life, etc, etc...
To that effect I have now met my first new year resolution - take up blogging again. My second resolution is to lose at least 16 kg's by the end of 2012. So at least I have something else to post about.
My initial thought for this year is regarding family driving holidays. We took the kids to Tasmania over the new year break and I personally did have a relaxing time; for the most part. (see beautiful pic).
However, I would caution all men about to reach mid-life that taking a 4 and 7 year old on a bit of a drive a few days in a row can get a bit....testing. Let's put it like that. At least I can now tick this off my bucket list - family truckster style holiday a la National Lampoons. That bucket is approaching faster than I'd like these days.
Note to self: Find more ways to relax/unwind/forget the "Muppets" for a while.
So this has been a bit of a ramble, next time will be scheduled and more structure....I promise.
