So, the progress is slow but, as with any long-distance walk, if you keep putting one foot in front of the other you will always reach the end. I'm on that part of the journey where you are up high, coming down from the summit and you can see the car in that spot just off the road. Its a way off, but you know you will get there.
The latest from Challenge HQ is that I am placed at Number 5 on the Standby List. This has given John enough confidence to email the route and admin sheets through to me so I can have them ready asap. Naturally, I am well prepared so they were already in place, ready and waiting. I've had it given the once over by trusted new friends and it looks good - low, and good, and a wee bit wild.
As I said, I am on the stretch where the car is in sight, only there is one difference. The car is just the start of the journey...
No. 5!! Excellent :)
ReplyDeleteIsn't it just, but not as good as number 0! ;)
DeleteLike I said, your in. By next week I reckon. Go to the wire on this.
ReplyDeleteGo to the wire! Reckon so.
DeleteNailbiting stuff! Eleven weeks two days till I'm standing in that bar, eek!
ReplyDeleteMine's a pint of ale. Make that a large pint actually.
DeleteThat's great news - start packing the rucksack!
ReplyDeleteThen unpacking and re-packing............
...ad infinitum....
DeleteTrain tickets arrived today. How terribly presumptuous.
My tickets arrived as well!
ReplyDeleteAnd to think that you were all ready to throw in the towel and do something different...
Patience is a virtue.
:-)
It's nice to see them in your hand isn't it?
DeleteAs for not throwing in the towel - Tell me about it! Thanks to you and several others, I hung in there and well it looks like the fat lady is about to sing.
"Patience is a virtue, virtue is a grace,
DeleteGrace is a little girl with dirty face!" is what my mother would say to that Alan. God knows why, she can be a bit random...
Like it. Definitely random though.
