One good thing about working between christmas and new year is the fact that I don't think I'll be hit by the big post-christmas blues that often hits after 2 weeks off. I was worried that it would be tough after Xmas because I would be remembering the wonderful month we had last year in New Zealand, but so far its just been good memories and not too depressing. After such a busy and positive year it would be hard to look back and be miserable about it. It is strange to think that a year ago we were here abseiling 100 metres down into a cave. Fantastic!
