Another New Year resolution is to read over what I write before I post it and think about how it might be interpreted by people reading it. Let’s just say that my previous blog caused mini- consternation with people wondering was I ok. Of course I am. Perhaps I really am far too enmeshed in this football world and am not really thinking clearly about things any more.

Of course the incident to which I referred was to do with the shenanigans within the football club. As usual I have managed somehow to maneuver myself into the position of piggy in the middle and the middle at the moment is a large pig pen of muck. With the very best of intentions, it seems that I (and not only I) can not keep everyone happy nor do right by everyone. But ain’t that life? No one has died, no one is even sick. You can only do your best. And try not to be too sensitive when even your best isn’t good enough. On the subject of pigs, can I resolve to eat healthily forever more or will I have to resort to liposuction?

So the list thus far reads as follows:

1. Care more about people, friends and foes alike

2. Look before you leap or think before you post

3. Eat less

Or perhaps I could resolve to do just one thing  and that might solve all others – think less about myself and more about others.

What is it with texting! I got a message yesterday and there was a hundred words in it! I could hardly believe it. One hundred words! It was the longest text message I ever received. The dexterous sender passed on two pieces of information which by the time I got to the end of the one hundred words, I has hoppin’ mad about! Without tone, inflection or body language , it was abrupt, rude and demanding! So what did I do? Yes, I gave myself a half hour to cool down and phoned the sender. After making two points whilst digging my nails into the palm of my hand,  she said ‘rightie oh!’ Whaattt! you are kidding me. Rightie Oh? Two words was her only comment. She had no more to say, ear to ear.  Some people should be handcuffed!
