I've got my eye on you...

Right 2010, you are currently a fortnight old and I have to say that I am not impressed.

From the extraordinary devastation and suffering in Haiti, to the personal distress of family and friends, with a dash of the utterly trivial to boot (such as your overprovision of ice).

You've got a General Election in you (plus US mid-terms) and more, so you've got quite the potential - for good or ill - years after you're a memory. Normally, I would have set a few goals or resolutions for the coming year, but currently I am minded to just have a better year, and try and help others have a better year, than you seem to think we should.

Consider this your first (and currently slightly hollow) warning.

Yeah 2010! Mr Daniel is watching you so behave!!

I fully agree and couldn't have said it better myself.

And bear in mind your neighbourhood's going to go steeply downhill in the next month or so...

:D

So, not so much a soap opera this year, as an action adventure movie.

"The Man V The Year - Come December 31st Only One Would Survive..."

Within the close confines of our own little family, 2010 has so far been pretty good to us. I figure this puts us in a good position to be right there with you to kick ass and take names if 2010 doesn't shape up for everyone else!

That does make it into the "redemption list" for 2010 - and I am pleased you are pleased by a certain sign change.

As it happens, your move cropped up as a positive in a chat Kaz and I had over dinner the other day. It certainly doesn't hurt to have neighbours with similar interests.

I'm fairly sure that by midnight of 31/12/10, 2010 is pretty much done for. The question is whether it has redeemed itself by then or not.

I guess that makes it more of a straight character drama than an action movie.

May your year continue as it has begun.

I too am ready to kick a** and chew bubblegum (and i'm all out of bubblegum)
Things surely should just get better

Wait till I put up the 'Schloss Svartmetall' sign...
