I've been reading through my blogs this morning, as I get to the inevitable end-of-year summary, and they're not bad. I'm glad I've stuck with these.

My phone died and kept coming back to life repeatedly last night. Quite amazed how calm I remained but hugely shocked by how much I need it to run my day-to-day! Getting back up and running now but that was a lesson in relying too much on technology.

I took the wise decision to take the day off work today. After the excitement of AdventureX, I need to get back to writing this up. Part 18 coming soon.
15 Days: Part 18 is in draft.
