Burning the Candle at both ends….

…and roasting it in the middle.

Probably best describes my life this week. I have just handed in, well emailed the final few tweaks (1.30am). It will be finalised on friday, when I have to go into the office and sign off the final proof. This will ensure that it makes its 1st September deadline. On top of this I have been at the cafe a for a few days this week.

Not to mention my first bit of instructing work for about two months. Maybe there are some people out there with money enough to pay for coaching. Anyway, we managed to climb three routes at Tremadog. I lead them up Oberon to get a feel for there ability and check them out, before one of the group lead another two routes. First Boo Boo and then Rio.

I think they had a great day out. They seemed to get a lot out of the day. They can rest assured that the money earnt has already been spent of a gri-gri and jumars ready for the states. Which this even we booked our flights out there, don’t know where I found the time to do that.

Anyway, I think bed is in order, as I have to work at 2pm tomorrow, and I think I am getting a wake up call from a TV company tomorrow morning, about the psychology of climbing. Which might well be interesting to hear what they have to say. Nothing will probably come from it but I do like the odd calls I get from researchers looking into climbing, its hard to remember that all they know about the sport is what they have found on google.
