Defying gravity!

Although my job is to deal with the unexpected, it's been driving me crazy trying to find out what the early birthday present my family got me was - all I knew was that we were going on the train to London today and I had to wear trainers.

Apparently, some time ago I'd said I wanted to walk over the O2. I say I want to do a lot of things, though, like skydiving and going into space, but there's no way I'd actually do them. Still, I did it - with only this latch between me and oblivion - and it was absolutely amazing! There was a lovely breeze at the top and, of course, the views were fantastic. Afterwards, we ate ourselves stupid at Jimmy's then walked around Greenwich and went on a boat. 

I've put a picture of the intrepid climbers in the 'extras' and a few facts we didn't know before about the O2 below:

Diameter: 365 metres (days in a year)
Height: 52 metres (weeks in a year)
Yellow pylons: 12 (months in a year)
