Thanks GoK, how thoughtful! It's a bit premature for me to even consider it a pending holiday, were completely overwhelmed at the moment in work, but all will come good on 24th, when we're supposed to break up, hopefully!

I am back in the UK yesterday, now just working to clear out 'open fluffery'[1] and going into shutdown mode this 16th till 2nd Jan!

Well I finish on the 31st Jan and walk into my new job on the 1st Feb. I had hoped for a break to go to Norway or something. But not a chance. I need to talk to them about taking unpaid leave so I can get a trip in this coming year. Not sure where but it won't be the Baltic. Or Morocco. Pyrenees perhaps, Tabernas?

I'm pretty busy at the moment. Solid up till Christmas and some over the holidays if I want it (which I probably don't). Spent 7 hrs in the truck today to do 3 hrs work. Lovely driving the truck but not in such heavy traffic.
I would be really knackered if I was driving another vehicle.
Still, I got to see Harrods Christmas lights.
Bloody Sat Nav…

Not sure if I should congratulate or commiserate you

Well done, glad you landed something, for a second I was worried.. honest

Looks like a c.o.b. 23rd start for me, but I need to cram 3 weeks into the next 9 days to bring it off. PITA, and it's the same every Christmas.

Back in on Tuesday 3rd, by the look of things... Still that's 10 days and nights of free time, eatin', drinkin' and kicking the cat.

Might get a trip out in the mud squeezed in and we've planned a new year road trip to the mountains in the south at Herculane, appx. 800km round trip.

That will be fun in itself, if we have more snow

Poor cat!!




Ana will tell you off if she catches you Clive!

I finish up Monday evening (hopefully), Load the 120 up and then head off at the crack of dawn Tuesday morning for Scotland.Still doing my daily snow dance

Finish at 5 pm today till 9th January, nowhere in the Cruiser but instead we’re off to Thailand for Christmas and Bali for the New Year.

Yep, just thinking the same! But what happened to Cristmas Chris, no mention...?

Sorry guys. I finished work Friday the 9th and am currently on a three week roadtrip in the States, but not with my truck which I miss terribly. Toyota's are to be seen everywhere over here with some impressive mods and lifts. The S P A C E out here is totally jaw dropping. I have to admit that I am jealous.The GMC Terrain is the animal we're driving around in. Costs around $35 dollars to fill the 18 gallon tank. Have a great Christmas and New Year's all of you. Looking forward to my next road trip around Scotland next year.

Good luck with the move Chris. Yes, it would have been great to take a break, but maybe its better this way.

16th has come and the work day is done. But looks like I am still working next Monday. Then the break.

Good news on the new gig. I hope they let you off for the trip later.

Going to speak to them about taking unpaid leave on top of regular hols. I need a clear three week period at least to get a decent trip in somewhere and take time to relax instead of flying around at full speed not seeing anything. Anywhere we go that's not in the UK needs a week just to get there and back before doing anything else.
