Variable speed limits

Today started off at a steady 20 mph. Struggled to get beyond pottering-pace and found it hard to get excited about doing work that can easily wait until January.

The pace ramped up at lunchtime for the first of our Christmas parties: the more sedate one of the day with cookies and hilarious games with our college students.

By the time we got to our after school club, we were running at about a sugar-induced 70 mph with much excited shouting and merriment. I peaked during the chocolate game and had to have a little sit down.

Down to a steady 50 mph for the choir Christmas party: pizza shaped carbs bringing everyone's energy levels down to a reasonable rate. A great music based quiz from DJ Flow.

And now, easing back down to 20 mph for an evening of Prison Break.
