Jan. 4th, 2010 04:26 pmBack at work. What fun. Business as usual. I think my only real resolution is to get off my arse and look for a job that pays decently and is more interesting. Which I will no doubt do in occasional bursts. oh, and the usual attempt to keep self up to reasonable fitness. Problem is when I'll start jogging again - not realistically before it's lighter in the evenings. :pokes the christmas podge:
Got back from Falmouth at about 5pm to a freezing house - Cornwall is cold but a lot of it's wind-chill, with a lot of ice but not much snow. Pimp coat not necessary, it's more heavy peacoat or sheepskin weather. With an emphasis on weatherproof. Contemplated getting hiking boots while I was there, but nearly all of the bastards pinched my toes to some extent, and I have no idea how much hiking boots stretch - advice?
Looking back over the year - I really need to get off my arse and finish up and post the various fic bits in my notebooks, since aside from nano I only posted one piece of fic this year. Eeep.
On the subject of writing, I'd been doing searches for accounts of wrecks and lifeboat rescues for nano, coming up with bugger all... and didn't think to look in my RNLI news magazine which normally goes straight into the recycling after a quick flick through. Which as standard normally contains at least one current day first-person account, and often a historical account as well. :facepalm:
