I'm back from the brink of death ... well .. almost

I still have the most outrageous coughing jags but at least my snotty nose has stopped running.

I managed to go out to a couple of bars on saturday to watch the crucial rugby matches and although i really wanted to see the nuit blanche (where Paris is brightly lit up and doesn't go to sleep for 24 hours) i couldn't hack it and was back home relatively early - the photos above and below were taken before the thing kicked off.

The pressure is dropping off at work now after an increadibly hectic five or six weeks and i'm starting to gear up for the christmas season already - the end of the year is just around the corner, dosen't time fly !
