Catching up with blogs while trying to think what to write for my own first offering of the new year I came upon this by AL Kennedy, my favourite of the regular Guardian book-bloggers. It expresses much of what I currently feel far more elegantly and amusingly than I ever could. Pity the last paragraph doesn't apply to me. (I suppose, in the interests of optimism, I should add, 'yet').
But, as AL would say herself - Onwards! Here's to a successful, happy, prosperous 2011.

Pip pip!
Welcome back, Alis!
The verification word is "sunly", which gives a pleasantly optimistic start to the year.
Love that AL Kennedy post. She sums it all up, doesn't she?
Happy 2011! Here's hoping there's more doing than waiting.
Hi Nevets - and many pips to you too!
Hi Tim - not very 'sunly' here today. Let's hope for better soon!
Hi Aliya - I love AL Kennedy's blogs. Really must get around to reading one of her books one of these days. And yes, here's hoping...
I love that description of the waiting-to-hear experience. It's comforting to know there's so much of it about. It's the one thing no-one warns you about (although I suppose we should all be able to work it out for ourselves).
Welcome back, Alis, and may your own waiting soon be (happily) over, and 2011 be a very successful year for you!
Thanks, Frances.
