Pretty easy really - UT (University of Texas) had a home game today at 11.30 am, so the store was empty until about 45 minutes before I punched out, then they all showed up in a wave of customers 
College football is huge in America. It meant that I couldn't cash my cheque, but I'm working from 4pm until close tomorrow, so I can do it then *sips the G+T*

Sounds like a reasonable day then! I have been very donesticated and actually done some housework! * takes a big gulp of G&T *
Oh and to top the excitement I changed a door handle! What a life of excitement!
Shall we put some music on? What do you fancy?
* goes to get two more G&T's *

Well, there's Twisted Sister, some Swedish death metal, or The Buena Vista Social Club.

*Sips the 
and gazes out over the night-time seascape* I love the ship at this time of the day. It's so quiet. Just perfect for spending some time in the company of a special friend

I like the busy, the noisy times too, but it's important to strike a balance between the two doncha think?

Totally! Party time is fun, but time to just be with friends is good too. Time to relax together

It's so important to do that. One just can't operate at maximum capacity without time to recharge. Oh look, here comes Dewey the ship's 
. Seen all the rats off yet Dewey?

Hmmm recharge time ...
* scratches Dewey's ears *
Hello Dewey, have you come to show us how to sleep and recharge cat style!

He does that really well 
*Looks up at the stars* Can you make out any of the constellations?

Lighthousegirl - back on board Posted Oct 13, 2001
What a !
I can see shapes in the stars but dont know which constallations we should be able to see from here! The again I am not sure where we are right now 
All I do know is that it is nowhere neat the UK since its so warm and such a lovely clear night. Maybe I should ask Kes next time he is here!
Do you know what any of them are?
* decides to copy Dewey and snuggles up to Gosho *

Well, I think that one up there *points* is Galaxian, the Space Invader, and at this time of the year we should be able to see Tomwaits, the Shuffling Hobo, but he'll still be below the horizon - it's a little early in the evening for him to be up yet Ahh, what a perfect setting 
We should do this more often. Would you care for some cheese?

Lighthousegirl - back on board Posted Oct 13, 2001
I am not sure I have ever seen the Tomeaits! You are right we should do this more often
* pours more G&T for each of them *
Cheese would be excellent - do you have any goats or sheeps cheeses there?
