Spook and I had a great night at the dance. Lot's of people we knew, lot's of dancing and lot's of whisky. It was a very sad looking me who got out of bed to go to work on Saturday morning having caused myself more damage from over dancing and drinking, than competing in the hill race. At least I made it home, which is more than can be said for Spook. Thanks to my dear friends and neighbours who got me safely to my doorstep. I had to cycle to work just in case and it was a couple of coffee's before I was in a position to offer support, rather than be supported.
Spook went to a party and found an empty bed at his sisters house at 7am. I could have danced for another couple of hours, but if I had sat down for 5 minutes I would have fallen asleep.
Mum and I went down through the glen today, which was looking magnificent. The papers say we are to have another 2 weeks of freezing weather, which I think is wonderful, but I am sorry for all the elderly people who have been housebound for the last week. The snow has never melted, but has compounded and frozen on the pavements, making walking very treacherous. I saw an old woman walking her dog when I was cycling to work......well, the dog was walking, but the lady was hanging on to a fence.
The sunset is from my parents house.
My New Years resolution is to run the next 4 Winter League races and then the last, 14 mile one in March. There, I said it.
