Not much news really - Christmas is coming so I'm working like a dog at the moment. I don't mind too much as it can be good fun if not a little stressful trying to explain why a 12 year old wants a particular phone.
I managed to win a laptop last week in work, I'm not sure how and I don't really want to ask as surely to win a laptop you should be focusing on it.
My days off at this time of year and since the last trip to Glendalough I have not managed to climb on real rock. I seem to be getting days off either side of nice or at least dry days. This means that I am in the coop a lot at the moment. There are a good few people down there in the evenings so I am enjoying the social scene. I think this must be almost what it's like to have real friends and not just stand next to groups of people in pubs pretending.
After talking to a few people of late I have decided that maybe some sort of climbing goals are necessary for me to really improve. I was hoping to be a little more " I'd just like to climb harder" but I think having a specific aim is key. I was trying to avoid this as climbing is supposed to be fun and I thought it would add unnecessary pressure. Most people seem to think without goals you lose focus, so I hope to have some short term goals up for the Beginning of next year.
Looking forward to the trip to Sheffield in January, I'd really like to be bouldering well for that as last time we went I had a stinking cold. Although the way the weather has been it will probably piss it down. It's all good as I still haven't been to the fabled Climbing Works.
Then in another honeymoon twist we could be heading to Fontainbleau for 9 days of the trip as well as skiing in Austria. The reason for this is we have both been busy and Ann just wouldn't enjoy a week sport climbing as she hasn't climbed much recently. In font she is quiet happy to sit read and relax, for me it's win win. She did ask what we could do in font when we are not climbing and I was stumped, go to font and not climb and drink, is there anything else? I also have to stop referring to the honeymoon as THE FONT TRIP!
So there we go the wedding invites are sent, I worked very hard overseeing their design and production. In seven weeks I get to go skiing for a week, then climbing for 10 days and Sheffield before that. Hmm there was some thing else, if it comes to me Ill post it.
If I don't catch you before the festive season have a good one.
