There are only 9 days left in this year, so time is running ( pun intended) out to get all those last minute bits and pieces done.
That would include Christmas shopping, and finish off your New Year's resolutions promised from the beginning of this year. And have you sent out all your Christmas cards yet ?
No wonder Ewen is working 12 hour days. Surely this is the busy time of the year ?
First run since last Saturday in Tassie. Nothing special, nice day, slow run along the river track to Gordon and back to work. I did come across a dead red belly black snake at the top of the dog exercise area. The hard part is deciding is it really dead ? which end is the head ? and which end will I go past in case it's not really dead ?
I gave it a wide berth, picked up a large stick just in case and hurried.
I stopped at the river for 13 minutes in the river, very nice as my legs were feeling the pinch after days of sitting and not much movement. Best get back in to a routine asap.
