Had a couple of long weekends this month, on one of them we headed down to the Lake District for a couple of nights, yes, going to the same place we've been twice before! Our arrival was on the evening of the England-Scotland football game, so I rushed to the bookies and put a bet on an England 3-0 win, though I should have put more on as our team are shockingly bad at the moment, still I won £16, enough for about 4 pints down there.
Been in a bit of a rut, it's dark whenever I leave work, and I just cannot be bothered tidying this bloody flat, some things are still occupying bits of carpet from months ago, the hoover is on the hallway, and has been for weeks, just cannot be bothered either using it, or putting it away. There is also a mound of clothes washing waiting and the washing up is a joke. Arriving back in darkness I just canne be fashed, though heading to pub for a pint most nights doesn't concentrate my mind.
Been training some new starts at work, has been ok, but looking forward to reduced hours in new year, as my shifts have made this year a bit enjoyable, my work/life balance was better before. Still, I am now officially a Team Leader, so that bit is ok.
Walked a couple of times along the coast to Kirkcaldy on days off, once the boy Reddick even bought a round! However, longer walks, gym visits and runs did not occur, though the icy weather didn't help. I must do my best to become disciplined again next year, like I was a couple of years ago.
Going to Germany in a week or so, not for long though, will be good to have a few days off work, will be working between Christmas and New Year which is a pain, especially as things will be very quiet. Beginning to feel very, very old..
Here are a few photos taken this month, the one of me taken this evening, one in the Swan Inn in Ulverston with famous rugby player (he told us so) Phil Hogan in background, the other is of Davie specs looking daft.
