The light at the end of the tunnel

How I have longed to see it! 
This shot was taken as I exited the Mistake Factory this evening.
After I had passed the doors that won't let me in again until January 2nd. 

I have been released for good conduct, so that I could spend Christmas with my family. 

But I will have to return to my cell in 10 days' time. 

What a great breath of fresh, or rather unseasonably warm, air I took as I left the Cathedral of Corporate Stress. 

I looked at the lights of Lansdowne Road stadium illuminating the sky.
I looked at the Dart heading into town, full of revelers dressed in sparks and make-up, heading for a night on the town.  
I looked anywhere but behind me. 
What's behind me will stay behind me. 

For ten days.

Hooray!
