Another year nearly over

Boxing Day - Ceri has been collected by his girlfriend, and gone to Gloucestershire/Cardiff. Very quiet here at home without him. Steve is mending the gears on his mountain bike, as he is going biking with the triathlon club over the weekend, the dogs are asleep in the living room and I have vacuumed and polished the floors [again...], but don't want to do too much more housework, as I think I have done more than my fair share over the last few days. Hard to think that it is the end of another year, where does it go to? This year has flown by - it has had its ups and downs, but all in all it hasn't been a bad one. My knee is almost fully recovered - I didn't think it would take 12 months when I initially damaged it in January - and I hope to start some light jogging over short distances in the New Year, and hopefully manage to race again by the summer. While I am off work over this festive period I hope to get at least 3 applications for jobs completed - one is going to be just a go, as it is really at too high a grade - but hey, they can only say no! - but it is local, and means I won't have to live away during the week. Hopefully 2008 will bring a new fulltime, permanent job, and I won't be forced to cope with half a job plus half a temporary contract...
