Will be working christmas day, (8-12 watch morning and night so could be worse) working boxing day, working day after boxing day. then going home after 2 and a half months at sea! woohoo!

no bike stuff planned though, my mate has got my rear tyre replaced so if weather is good can pop out for a bit, otherwise pack before going back to be a student again for 8 months after being home for 1 week!

Have a Merry and Safe Christmas everyone
