Arrrrr, missed it!

Was reminded by Nic that I seem to have accidentally overlooked "International Talk Like a Pirate Day" which was yesterday. Now I was aware of the tradition, but felt that I couldn't participate at work, being as it might be seen as unprofessional. So splice the mainbrace and crack open the rum, Roger the cabin-boy and escape from the evil Seaman Stains etc etc... To err is human, to Arrrrr is pirate!

Asidde from the course (which I will talk about sometime) I'm sure I had other things to write about but can't remember what they are right now. The most exciting news is that I have booked my next holiday as I had to have something to look forward to! Very pleased as had thought that I couldn't do what I wanted (ski-ing) as the work rota means that I can't get a full week off saturday to saturday over the holiday period, however after a bit of searching we have managed to find one trip that leaves on Boxing day so I only have to take one day off work on the 2nd January as the days in between I am rostered off for anyway! Result. So I still have 2 weeks and 2 days left to take before the end of April. The trip is to Romania which I have no idea about in terms of ski-ing, but apparently it's fine for intermediates and really cheap, and seeing as this year's trip was to an apparently smaller resort, it should be fine. The other reason for going is to escape New Year in the UK which is usually a bit of an anticlimax - although I've enjoyed myself in recent years, it all seems like too much hassle so we're apparently going to get a gala dinner in the hotel which sounds like a laugh.

Going to go to bed in a bit, I can tell Autumn is here as it's getting colder, but I have so far resisted putting the heating on, probably won't be able to hold out much longer though as I'm already rubbish at getting up in the mornings.
