Another year done. All that remains is to see what happens with my Dan grading, I finished the last of the three parts this weekend and am just waiting to find out how I did now. As a whole, I think the grading went pretty well, by which I mean that I didn’t come in too far below my own expectations. Time will tell though, and when I know, it’ll be all over here.
I’ve also got the less-than-exciting prospect of the beach training on the 27th to look forward to. I really enjoy going down and doing it, but with the weather as it is at the moment (i.e. literally freezing, everything is covered in ice) it’s going to be a chilly couple of hours. The dip in the sea is always bracing, and that’s the part I’m looking forward to most.
There’s not really much more I can think to say at the moment. I’ve already had far too much to drink at various parties, far too much to eat, and I see no signs of abating in the coming week or two. I think everyone should watch the New Years Day concert from Vienna on BBC2 though, it’s a little tradition for me now. What better way to spend a hungover morning than watching and listening to some lovely classical – even if it is hideously Austrian biased. Fans of Strauss are in for a treat.
Happy Christmas/Kwanza/Hanukah/Whatever it is you do with yours. Relax, eat and drink well and enjoy a few days peace and relaxation. I can’t see me getting the motivation to update this from home next week, so I’ll probably see you all in 2010. Watch out for big black rectangular monoliths ;).
