Oh dear, too miserable last time. Needed a swift kick up the backside!
Well, it’s all go since the last update…
I have a new boss who actually seems to be trying to get some direction into our working lives, so it’s all go at work trying to impress him and get on with work at the same time.
My flat is finished and we’re just sorting out a completion date at last!
And, this is the unbelievable thing… Andy and I have a week off next week! He did phone this morning and say there’s some big thing going on (I know what it is but am not stupid enough to write it here) and he might have to spend a day in the office next week, but all being well, we are heading to Keswick with the tent. We’ve seen a bigger tent we like the look of, so this might be the last outing for my offset dome with two porches (otherwise known as the hardest tent to put up but also the most stable I have ever camped in). He’s going to have a rush because he’s working in Rutland this weekend and then coming down here to pack up and head to Keswick on Monday, but if it means we can spend some time together sans work mobiles, that will be fab.
I am in two minds whether to attempt Catbells again. Part of me thinks I owe it to myself to give it another go, and prove I can do it with less stress than last time, and part of me thinks I should just leave it alone because I found it so hard. But then I read on the Country Walking forums about peoples’ five year old kids doing it, and how it’s an easy hill, and I feel a complete idiot and determined to do it. What to do, what to do.
Off to check the ten day forecast now, in case I have to hold Andy to his: “Ah well, if it’s rubbish weather we’ll get a sleazyjet flight and I’ll take you to Barcelona for a few nights.” 
P.S – Just noticed a huge spike in people viewing my blog on August 8. Very intriguing considering there was no new post. Weird!
