Jingle all the way!--break-->

So the second week of Advent has seen slightly more settled weather hereabouts, mostly dry and even a spot of sunshine! I've had my first Chrimbo card, from my Grandson (well Mummy had to do the writing bit), I just have to work out how to get his presents up to Yorkshire - there are so many! I think I have a plan, do you think the USS Enterprezzie will be able to do the honours?

Monday's highlight was food shopping, yeah I know but a girl needs to eat. I did make some headway on the next Gaby chapter but my muse was a bit distracted to tell the truth - I know where things are going at least so its just knuckling down to the keyboard.

Tuesday, as ever, was dedicated to a bike ride. It was another tour of North Somerset, once again I failed to keep out of Tier 2 country but by a smaller margin this time - I know you have to have boundaries but you can't even go around Bristol ring road without going out of area! It was quite warm and sunny a lot of the day, when I say warm, we're talking 5c but without a cold wind that was quite comfortable. 110km - not huge or exciting but its looking likely that i'll hit 18000km for the year - unless the weather turns or there's some other disaster!

And so to today, I've posted the next Book 3 chapter, The Stones, which includes a dose of culture and more cycling, this time for Jen. There are of course a few twists and turns on the way, life in the Bond household is never straightforward!

I guess that's it for today, be well,
