New Year, new start

Samhuinn marked the start of the celtic year so what better time to make a fresh start on things.

After a month of fighting off a cold we got back to swimming this morning. I'm also starting my Marathon training for the summer. I've got two short courses for my degree to do over the winter and I've decided to use them to get myself in to really good study habits for my next course which will require about 18 hours of study a week. Every time I study is being logged, notes are being made and summarised at the end of each chapter. I refuse to let myself slip behind.

We're also finally going to get the little bits of DIY out of the way, we're going to sand, strip, prime and repaint the bathroom (using the correct paint, unlike the previous owner), regloss the front door frame and temporarily regloss the windowsills so they don't get more damaged before we can get them repainted in the spring.
