Editor’s comment: Opportunity knocks

A happy and prosperous New Year to all our readers. I hope you’ve come back refreshed and with your New Year’s resolutions still intact. My resolution is not to make one because it’s about the only promise I’ll ever keep.

Over the Christmas holiday period I collapsed on the settee whilst my stomach grumbled at the lack of watching anything worthwhile on television. Or maybe it was brought on by eating too much festive food. Anyway, I’ve given myself a good talking to and the diet begins today.

January is a funny old month when you consider it’s probably the worst time of year to make any resolutions. It’s bad enough denying yourself the many pleasures you enjoy, without it feeling like the middle of the night when you get out of bed in the morning.
