An update on life

Oh dear looks like I've not been keeping the blog up to date.


Well things that have been happening are


Pub quiz - the team, we call ourselves 'The team with 2 brains' (no matter how many of us go), have now won four times so that's total winnings of 200 quid.


Climbing - going quite regularly now, mostly with Emma, Ryan and Izzy (no sign of the others being that organised to go). although at the mo only with Emma as the rest are abroad for Xmas. I checked out Whistler and they have two good walls and I'll take my shoes with me when I go.


Skiing - Pretty sorted now. Managed to square it with work. 5 weeks break down thus


   9th Jan - 13th Feb
     5 days carry over 2011 holiday
   10 days 2012 holiday
   12 days unpaid leave


I've paid the holiday company. I've got the insurance and booked the flights.
I've contacted my cousin Mikel who lives over there to meet up, same with my friends Emmanuel, Sandra and possibly Jason (who was on the original instructor course).
In fact I've started packing too! just the money to sort and check I've got my knee supports.


Gym - just had my last session for the year, in fact until I get back in Feb. Andy is going to email me a series of exercises to do while I'm away.


Work - It's OK they are fine with me going away and coming back. I've not pushed for anything more senior or more money perhaps I can do that when I get back. Still got loads of leaving dos each week. Also we've had the Xmas party which I enjoyed much more than last year and our team Xmas meal which didn't involve any food just beer!


Bike - my wheels are still going good. Just thinking about getting it a cover as a Xmas present to keep it clean and shinny in all this bad weather while I'm away.


Xmas - presents sorted/given, cards done, going back to the Parents for the Hols. Noting sorted for New years eve.


So generally quite in control at the moment which is nice :-)


must remember to get some milk on the way home...
