Day 55<\/strong><\/p>\n

The weather broke this morning so it was a bit of shock to be back to the usual dull overcast weather. There was a bit of drizzle when I went out but nothing bad enough to mandate a rain-coat. The views from the top were a lot duller than yesterday but at least I was relatively dry.<\/p>\n

It was a nice refreshing lunchtime walk and I even got back with a resolution to a couple of work problems which was quite helpful.<\/p>\n
