h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Motherwell went OK. The place is pure unreconstructed 1970's town planning, given that since the demise of mining and the steel industry in the area there hasn't been any £££s for redevelopment. Therefore, we had lunch in a Wimpy - waitress service, coke in a (plastic) glass, and 70's cooking.

I met my niece - she of RSAMD - yesterday and treated her to a very nice tho' £30 lunch.

I have spent the day bashing out more and more wrots that I'll have 20 or so hours on Monday/Tuesday to cut down from XXXXX to 11,000.

Pork for tea.

Apparently the downstairs neighbour has twice this week clocked a dodgy guy walking a staffie up in the cul de sac having a good neb, clockin' the hooses and, the second time, trying car door handles, this all this very recently.

Memo to self - put digi camera on the front bedroom windowsill and peep out occasionally. Warn Susan re. keeping the Fabergé in the car.

Blimey, Douglas, I'm impressed!
You found somewhere in Motherwell that cost as much as £15 a head for lunch?
Are you sure that you weren't overcharged because you were whistling a different sectarian tune?

Lunch was in Glasgow. A very nice cafe in Sauchihall Street just round the corner from RSMAD. Dinner in Motherwell was in the Alona Hotel - the best of the Motherwell hotels food-wise, but hotel food is invariably microwave or boil in the bag. When my employer is picking up the tab then I will unfailingly go for steak, it at least has to be shown a grill. One annoying new fad, for which I blame The Hairy Bikers - rubic cube assemblies of big fat chips but no more real than those Wimpy extrusions.

Hello PJ's Oh by the way.
