Records and Festivities

Just a few days left of 2013 means one final blog before the summaries and preparation for 2014 and on the back of a packed social week, this week has focused more on home-based accolades.


Job searching has continued but sadly no replies meaning more applications are needed but I have allowed myself a small break fro Christmas and will resume on Monday with hopes for a working place by mid-January.

When I worked, I always wondered why I was so tired some nights when I slept seven hours and yet this week, I've seen myself stay awake overnight without a hint or tiredness which means I'm not doing enough during the day.

Sports wise, Liverpool suffered defeat to Man City but were cheated after a clearly onside goal was ruled out but 2-1 was better than the thrashings that Spurs/Arsenal received at the Etihad. Washington have gone from bad to worse with another defeat this time 23-24 against NFC rivals Dallas despite leading and go to a woeful 3-12 a long way from 2012's 10-6 divisional title win.

Skem still sit top of the NPL over Christmas and more than likely into 2014 with a stunning 6-0 win over Stocksbridge with a performance that I was glad to watch first hand and followed it up with a vital 3-2 win away to title rivals AFC Fylde to go four clear at the top and improve the prospect of a second consecutive promotion.



The Xbox consoles have rotated bit during the week which included the Dash and a number of records for the year and overall. My TA and achievement targets were both met this week with the idea being to beat what I achieved in 2012 which came true with the amounts of 4525 achievements and 114458 TA. The hopes of playing all owned games has gone due to a miscalculation so it will be a goal for 2014 with a number of new entries added to the list having been purchased during the winter sales.

Fitness wise, I have increased my walking since last week and in doing so reached a total of 2.4 million Nike Fuel meaning the targets of 2.5m and 3m will be added to the list for 2014.

Christmas was a fairly quiet affair this year but that is a sign of growing up as the magic just isn't there anymore even more so when single and less social than in the past but a few surprises did light up the day as are shown in the below images including a number of crafting sets which have become a passion of mine in recent years.














So next up will be the monthly summary and the preparations for 2014 but I will go into that on the 31st.
