Only 21 working days left until I will be officially unemployed for the first time since I started working after graduating from university in August 1999. In fairness, it is a self-imposed bout of unemployment as I feel I need a little break from the daily hum-drum of a nine-to-five job. I just hope the weather is nice so that I can get a bit of stuff done in the garden and generally concentrate on outdoor activites. I'm not sure how long I'll rest up, but I reckon I could just about stretch to a year! 
I am thinking I could complete a compact bike tour of Northern Europe, maybe setting off from somewhere in Germany and winding up back in Canterbury - Not sure how far that is though... and I'm not a well-honed cyclist or anything, more of a leisurely pop-to-a-country-pub-close-by kinda cyclist...
