Cliché of all clichés, The Great Escape always follows Christmas, and this year I am making my own - escaping the piles of turkey, cold stuffing and reheated boiled veg. Although really this is actually quite nice food, I'm still making a run for London to meet up with Devito, Swan, Sean and Mike for one night only.

There are no hard and fast plans yet - I could be heading for Uxbridge, Illford or Southend at the moment - it should be a good little venture.

Last night I met up with John, Tom and Steve at the Crisp. The usual discussions ensued and there were plenty of gross out medical stories to go around. There were also congratulations in order, Steve announcing his engagement to girlfriend Louise - I think that's the first person I know from my friends to do it, so it was a bit of a surprise, but definitely good news.

On the way out I spotted Harriet and Laura with a few friends, and they asked me to come and sit for a while. There was plenty of Stourbridge related banter, and it was a good catch up with them too.

Today I ride to London.
