Hungarian Goulash.
I'm tired, so I'm afraid that's going to have to fill my quota for today.

A New Leaf
It is my New Year's Resolution to do a bit of writing on something every day, even if it's just a long-ish email to someone. This blog counts, mostly because it's easy and I realised today that I spend every lunchtime sitting at my desk eating my lunch and wondering what to do at my computer that isn't work. Expect constant updates on my favourite soup flavour.
Ideally, I'll try to manage something on one of the many writing projects I seem to have set myself in an attempt to break out of the office and into the world of international literary renown. Realistically, the only writing work I've ever managed to complete has been for school or University, so it's going to be a challenge. Hopefully, writing something every day will help. But as my lunch hour's over already - shouldn't have checked Facebook first - maybe only a little.

Spick and span
I have turned into a tidy freak!
All my life I have been an extremely untidy person, I'm not that fussed about mountains of dust, could count the number of times I've hoovered without taking my socks off, and am so used to not being able to find things that the place where something SHOULD be is always the last place I need to look.
But for some reason, over Christmas, I got cleaning fever. First, I bought some new furniture for my bedroom, which meant some clearing out, a flatpack day, and now places where I can actually keep my belongings without needed to pile them up all over the floor. Then, with Gran coming up for Christmas, extensive cleaning was necessary throughout the house, and finally my mum bought some new furniture, which meant even more clearing out and hoovering in places that we've not seen since we moved in fourteen years ago.
Today, I should be writing something for a competition deadline on Friday, but instead I've got everything out from under my bed, hoovered up the clods of dust and cobwebs, thrown most of it in the bin, and replaced the few things I want to keep in organised boxes. Maybe this new leaf is not such a great thing.
Now I'm a bit sick of it, so I'm going to trawl Facebook for some good photos to put in the frames I recently discovered.
