I've managed it. I've actually booked a holiday. Settled for a week in Dublin after discovering that Ryanair had got flights for £20 return; too good to turn down really. So, in just over a week,I'll be relaxing in a bar with a peat fire (there's a gorgeous one in Howth complete with a shaggy dog) and drinking excessive amounts of beer.
The hotel I'm staying at has a gym. I like the idea of there being a gym there but will be very surprised if I live up to my best intentions of actually using any of the equipment.
This weekend's looking pretty good too. I'm off to Birmingham to see my mum today and going to a friend's for Canadian Thanksgiving tomorrow. Apparently, it's pretty similar to America Thanksgiving - just a month earlier.
The thing I love about the whole multicultural society thing is that you get to celebrate so much more. I've always loved Christmas. This year I'm getting three times as much festivity by celebrating Canadian Thanksgiving, US Thanksgiving and Christmas. Have a feeling I may be bored of turkey by December.
