    Sometimes I really wonder about my profession, phonecall today - "Can you be in Weston-super-mare to start work on Wednesday. Afraid we don't know how long the job will last" So looks like its going to be another spell living in a B and B, at least this time its on the coast.

    Evening all - just had a couple of beers with a mate and his son who is great mates with Little Miss W_Y - he is off to Afghan in the morning. Puts some perspective into life after the tragic events of this week...

    What is wrong with old people? They die so regularly. A close friend died before Christmas, he was not as old as me, and now my former neighbour has died and the memorial service is tomorrow. My neighbourhad moved away but was still in contact so it is hard. He was a good man and president of the local lawyers association.

    I go now as I wish to be at work early again tomorrow. I think I will not service the Nest until KL.8:30.

    Góða nótt for today.

    Góðan daginn til allra. Cappuccino, coffee, tea donuts and fruit are on the bar. I am here as I am waiting for my computer to start. It has two programs that talk to each other but if one has a big file you have to start in the other and request it. You can not send and open. This is a pain in the bottom as the computer files are very big and take a long time to fall down.

    Anyway there is frothy cappuccinos for for al, HH, Leon and W_Y
    Coffees for COYH, Frenchie, Kev rob and theo
    Strong coffee for Sandy
    Milky coffee for Yorkie
    Espresso for SuffolkHorn
    Strong black coffees for Bragi Norway and zen
    Black coffee half hot half cold and no sugar for Charlie
    Tea for BHD jsybarry jerzeypie Lloydinio and BCFCRed
    Hot chocolate with marshmallows for BBW
    Tea with skimmed milk and no sugar for GG
    Tea and cake for Minx
    Caramel latte for Hornette
    Redwine for NZ as he is so ahead of us in time because the weekend is already in Christchurch

    Weather office says we are to have snow. They were wrong yesterday.

    Thanks for the coffee Ak

    I know what you mean about getting old, you get to see your old friends more when you attend funerals but the problem is there are less of them each time.

    I am the only person in my office so I am making a tour of the internet. No Watford news except we are looking at Joel Ward, so he will go obviously somewhere else.

    Lovely bright morning here, a good day to get and do just a few outside jobs. After winter when staying warm is the first thing to consider, you can get out and over do things, then regret it with the resulting aches. So a little light garden pruning and tidying up seems to be a gentle enough start. ;)

    I see that both Manchester clubs lost in Europe last night. Is the 'best league in the world' the result of too much hype, or do the foreign teams just have better foreign players than the foreign players that have taken over our teams?

    Morning all - quite a nice day in bandit country. Tesco done, just had to sit through a rather dull WEBEX meeting and now just off to see my rather lovely dentist for a check-up...that will brighten my day....

    Morning all

    Some high cloud cover here today...supposed to get better later. I am about to be recruited to roll out croissant dough. It's a harder job than you might think...a ten inch square has to be rolled out to 44 inches. Tomorrow's breakfast should prove whether or not it's been worth the three day effort!
