Tweeting the apocalypse

Happy New year; although I doubt anyone reads this blog any more.  I shall rectify that shortly and I will redo the appearance, connect to my Facebook page, and it will come up in twitter....

Every New Year someone wants to know what your resolutions are: basically I should say to stay away from people wanting me to make resolutions, but I silly enough said: I will blog more and I will tweet the apocalypse, since there are groups of people out there who believe 2012 will herald in the end of the world.  I also promised my Melbourne based relatives I would visit them after the end of the world.

The daughter is currently doing a Christmas job with shockingly few hours - gotta "love" managers and their attitude toward women with children.  Still if that company also folds, they will only get what they deserve...

So let us forward into the New Year and see if I can live up to my promise of more blogging...
