Day 249 - Rest Day

Monday December 21st

A day of rest before the final onslaught of Christmas. It started snowing again and that caused havoc on the streets. Ted had to walk home from Worthy and I had a very festive walk into town for a pint with Kevin.

It's amazing what we got used to in Hastings. A small snow storm in Basingstoke and the whole city shut down with people abandoning their cars. I couldn't get 100 yards down the road without slipping, sliding and getting caught up with other cars doing the same thing. No snow ploughs, no gritting.

Day 220 - More Indolence

Sunday November 22nd

I actually think this weekend of rest has done me a world of good. I couldn't even rouse myself for a run. The guilt was there and it certainly puts pressure on me for the week ahead but I felt like I'd earned a break. Mrs N and the kids went to the Farmers Market in the pouring rain and I stayed back with great intentions to do some work. I was still lying on the sofa when they got home. Oops.

The weather has been terrible. It feels like it's been raining non-stop for weeks and any minute the Ark is going to arrive to pick everyone up. All football has been cancelled for the last few weeks so Ted has been bouncing off the walls
