Don't you just hate those weekends where you end up starting a new week more tired than you finished the old one! I shouldn't complain, it's good to do lots of things, but boy was I knackered this morning!
I went to have a go with that Land Rover on Saturday. It was miles away but it was worth it - I had a little drive in it and it was lush. The only downside was that it was too expensive so I shan't be getting that one. Still, it was fun to try it out.
On Sunday I climbed up Harrison Stickle. Again, it was miles away but the countryside along the way was very pretty so it wasn't too much of a hardship. The climb up took about 2 hours and was painful - it was very steep and it was very hot and there were millions of flying red ants about: I inhaled a few. The mountain is very impressive, a bit like a mini himalaya: huge sheer cliffs and giant rocky summits. I eventually got to the top and was about to enjoy my lemonade celebration when I noticed huge red clouds of flying ants. I had a quick look round the summit and headed down again. Don't worry though, I still had my lemonade stop, but it wasn't at the top. The walk down was quick and easy and I was back at the car 3 1/4 hours after having left it. All in all: a bloody hard walk with incredible views but the ants spoilt it a bit.
I'm now in work and it's starting to kick in now: I was very anxious this morning, not sure what I'm meant to be doing, feeling uncomfortable... It's ok, it'll pass, but it's a little unpleasant for now. That's my fault for moving jobs I suppose!
