Hove metamorphoses into the Arctic

Trainers have been put on hold as Brighton and Hove seafront has temporarily metamorphosed into the Arctic and the promenade is currently an ice-rink... literally. The minor factor of a couple of 5000-word essays due in in a few weeks also weighing in on the brain and time schedule. Go-faster-stripes will be back in force in 2010, meanwhile the hiking boots will be on and mother will have me out tramping the damp hills of Argyll for some endurance training I'm sure. Merry Christmas everyone!!
