A Day in the Life of Eriska

If "There is no rest for the wicked" then sometimes I wonder how much trouble I must have caused but in reality we all create our own timetables and we would not be busy here at Eriska if we did not set our minds in such a direction at the start of the day. Our New Years guests all arrived on Thursday and a combination of their endless energy, the weather and an action packed program has certainly insured their is little time for rest.

Yesterday it was a chance to us e the new indoor leisure facility with a mini highland games and once again we found that skill and ability has nothing to do with success when it comes to the Eriska Scoring method but all in all we had a successful afternoon and certainly a lot of fun and much drier and warmer than last year! However one of the delights of this time of year is that we are forced- endless media reminders help- to look back over the last 365 days and reflect and look forward to the next year and hope and dream what it might bring.

In reality although I confidently buy my weekly lottery ticket the odds and luck generally tell me that the lottery will not solve my problems- 4 tickets on Christmas eve with absolutely no numbers should have been a hint- and that whilst lots of outside influences will affect 2012 outcome it all starts with me and my plans and hopes. So later on today between a quiz, a barbecue and a treasure hunt i will try and take a few minutes- and will encourage the team here to do the same so that we can enter 2012 with even more direction and plans- at least then this time next year we can asses what we have not achieved alongside what we have!
