We're hurtling towards the end of 2025. I can't believe how quickly Christmas has come round. There doesn't feel like there is enough time left to get every done I need to do. Every weekend is fully booked up, but with only 2 weeks left of school followed by 2 weeks off, I'm quite happy as it's full of time with family and friends.
I'm no longer on track with my running and going to the gym as I've had a really bad chesty cough and heavy cold, but you know, we plough on, especially after a friendly reminder in work. I provide cover, I've been flat out. Friday had me in a muddy field in yellow wellies supervising cross country.
Sunday
Day 333 Slept till 8am and caught up with last nights I'm a celeb then off for a 3 mile run and met Peter at the coffee shop. Home and rest of the day spent finishing putting the Christmas decorations up and tidying the downstairs up. I caught up with all the soaps while I was working. Evening spent having dinner, a bath and ready to watch I'm a celeb, get ready for work, some blogging and in bed at 10.30pm.
Monday
Day 334 After work had an early tea, got changed, picked my friend and her son up and drove up to Birmingham. The rain was relentless. It was heavy going with the driving on the motorway and the city driving wasn't much better.We beat Watford 2-1. Got home around midnight and straight to bed.
Tuesday
Day 335 It was a struggle getting up and into work. Really not feeling well and it was raining so no running and watched I'm a celeb, from last night. Decided against the gym, but went for coffee and picked up some cat food as Pushkins hasn't been eating properly for a week. Home to a bath, dinner and an evening chilling out in front of the TV. Booked some Christmas treats and accommodation for some upcoming trips.
Wednesday
Day 336 A day covering Spanish 'Ola' and Science. Home via town to book tickets for Christingle Service on Christmas Eve at The Priory, met Peter for a coffee and posted my last Christmas gift to my old student. Video call with the grandchildren, pants tickets booked, last online order made and final Christmas cards written, bath and in bed to watch I'm a celeb.
Thursday
Day 337 Straight home from work, bath, hair wash, van packed, telly watched and into bed at 9pm to watch I'm a celeb. I didn't sleep at all well. I think my chesty cough/cold/flu has peaked.
Friday
Day 338 After a day of covering Spanish and PE I left work and drove straight down to Cirencester for the night where I camping ready for parkrun in the morning and annual Christmas walk with my friend Chrissie who drove up from St Albans and joined me for the night. ‘turn left at the toilet block and I’m next to the Christmas tree’
Saturday
Day 339 Woke up too late for parkrun, packed the van and went for a 5 mile walk around the Polo fields and visited the Christmas market and had coffee. I drove onto Keynsham where I called in to visit my MIL and niece to drop off Christmas gifts and cards. The old Severn crossing bridge was closed, so I diverted off the M4 to Cwmbran to see my nephew, his wife and my great niece then onto my friends in Monmouth for the night.
Things to make you smile:
I can't tell you half the stuff that goes on in work, but it would make you smile and/or your toes curl. My neighbour sent a photo of her car engine. I said to Peter I'll either be back in 5 mins or 5 hours. She just wanted confirmation of where the engine oil was to go.
Things that made me happy:
Getting lots of things done, despite feeling really poorly for several weeks. Spending time with friends, camping.
