Running it out...

This time of year always makes me feel like I'm climbing, and can see the top of the pitch, and decide just to keep going for it and hope I don't fall off. In climbing, this doesn't always work out that well, as has been demonstrated this year - in life, at least it just usually means I end up with a stinking cold by the week before Christmas.

I'm looking forward to a break at Christmas so much! Nearly 2 weeks off work - hurrah!
