Das Kreuzworträtsel

It's kind of late, I've got zip in the inpsiration bank and time just keeps running away from me.

Probably because I do crosswords.

I thought doing these would be a good way to build a German vocabulary, and it is. Not as quick as I would have liked but as with most things, I've persevered and if you ever need to know the name of a three-lettered mountain range on Crete, I'm your man (it's Ida).

On a positive note, I arranged my days off. December is looking like a Great Month. What with my remaining holidays and Xmas and so on, I'll be in the office for a grand total of 4 days. That's cheered me up a fair bit.
