You know those days that feel like they’re never going to end – the ones that have you sitting at your desk counting every painful second? Well, today’s been one of those, and it’s not over yet – after several hours of painful statistical evaluation (I can’t put into words the degree of my ineptitude when it comes to working out percentages, but suffice to say today’s been about as fun as sticking pins in my eyes for eight hours) I am now about to do a four mile interval run at the gym, as I haven’t managed to fit all of my training in this week. Only after the run will I finally be free to meet my friends in the pub and have the long-awaited glass of chilled Pinot Grigio that’s been plaguing my dreams since the beginning of the week.
In light of the above I do hope you’ll excuse this rather pathetic excuse for a blog post. I must confess I had intended to write something rather more inspiring at lunch time, but lunch came and went in a haze of calculations and I now find myself at the end of the day and absolutely spent.
I know, dear reader, that you will understand, and I promise to make it up to you over the weekend.
Happy Friday everyone – thank God it’s finally here.

This photo was taken on a night out in Ibiza several years ago – right now it’s an accurate representation of how delighted I am the weekend has finally arrived.
