Time is running out...

















Not long to go... Mere days now!
I have a cold. Really just sniffles, repeated sneezing and a sore throat which is creeping downwards... I feel decidedly wimpy... I even flirted with the idea of a day in bed, and then thought 'Don't be RIDICULOUS woman - what if you get sniffles in Nepal? You'll HAVE to get on with it!'
With luck, a cold now will mean I don't get one in Nepal...
I bust a gut last week squeezing training in on my working days. My 'workfree' days went less well exercise-wise... Crap, actually. And yesterday was given over to my yearly accounts (always a thoroughly depressing day).
Then, today, my car broke down. Twice.
The first time, I discovered that my AA membership has been cancelled by the bank. Cheeky swine - my account is still being charged for the privilege of NOT having such fringe benefits - and it cost me over £100 to upgrade my membership last time I broke down, just so I could get home...
Thank God for Kit, who covered the cost of having my battery recharged this morning to get me to work...
...and then she died a second time, round the corner from work as I headed home. A helpful RAC member to the rescue...
So I'm chilled, hungry and thoroughly fed up - alongside overextending my not-so-stretchy overdraft beyond breaking point...
I thought I would post some pix from my day in Bath on Saturday. Good walking before and after the travel writing workshop I went to...
Always good to end something on a positive note!

I began blogging during training for a trek in the Himalayas... several lifetimes ago. Currently working on my novel - in the tiny spaces left by a 50 hour plus working week...
