After the walk we just had to do the post-Christmas swim. Even with wet suits it was a tad colder than the walk. Bracing. Yogi got into the spirit of things by finding and eating a stinky fish on the walk back. He's Mr Fish now.

A windy stroll along Padstow's beach to Hawker's Cove. Blowy there, but the wind veered and so it was helpfully blowy back too.

Post-Christmas Walk

A few others had similar plans. Possibly the busiest we've seen it here.

Lovely crimbo. The annual cards championship didn't disappoint either.

A great spot for a photo but I failed miserably in persuading Ewok and Yogi to pose for one.

A run to grab the bike from the station (where I'd left it after the night out at the Comedy Store). Highlight: saying "hi" to the santa special. Low light: suspecting that the mud wasn't all just mud.

Office

London Eye

In the office for the last day of the year. The boys stopped by and even got a tour.
