Well I guess it’s not usual to talk about finances on here but this month is a bit special. I just finished paying of £14,000 of loans to the good people at HSBC. It’s certainly been painful and I am very very glad it’s all gone. The 6 months in Vienna and paying for my Diploma in Architecture was kind of expensive. Quite a weight off my mind and finances too. Fingers crossed I don’t lose my job now.

Last weekend we headed up to Pampisford near Cambridge to see Emma’s Mum. Lots of great food and also plenty of fun to be had with the completely mental dog.
Also headed in to Cambridge on the bus to have a look round and also had a look at the Christ’s Lane development I worked on for two long years at Panter Hudspith. Looks good. Funny seeing it finished after looking at all those drawings for so long.
On site today in Oxford and a pretty early start too. Snapped a few images for myself in between the work ones.
Here’s a few of my favourites.
…for 2008. Finished work yesterday and have got two weeks booked off. No more Microstation, InDesign or Outlook! Looking forward to spending some time back in Bath and getting as much cycling in as possible.
Gav and I are doing the now almost traditional Boxing Day ride at Afan. A lap of Whites level and then back to the top to do the Skyline descent.

Updated with a few pictures from today
Got back late last night from a flying trip to France. Left early Friday morning and got back late on Sunday evening. Very impressed with the journey on the TGV.
The place we stayed was fantastic. Right on the sea and had access to a little shared rocky cove where you could go swimming from. Lots of sun, sea, good food and wine! Hopefully will be back next year.
Just on the Eurostar to Paris then picking up a connection to the South of France for the weekend. Staying at Rick’s house with the rest of the guys from work.
Will hopefully get some good photos. Fingers crossed for warm weather.

Two weeks in to the new job. Quite a change to my routine now, up earlier and cycling further to work which is good. Going from less than a mile to five miles and an earlier start certainly has taken its toll these last few weeks.
Hopefully a bit of base fitness will help me enjoy summer riding a bit more although I’m still finding it hard to get out riding on the mountain bikes at the moment.

A quick pic of the new office at work. Still needs some work but it’s getting there. Much brighter than the previous one and loads more space!
