The only reason that I sorta remembered is because of a summer stay in Florida. We flew out of Ontario on the Sunday of our long week-end, and grumbled at losing a statutory day off. But the following week, being on the pan-handle, we got to enjoy a day off anyway.

I worked shift rotations for a five-year stretch once. When I returned to straight days, I was frequently caught off-guard by holidays. smiley - doh

I can use the excuse now of advancing old age, but you are far too young for that. You'll have to get creative with a 'justification' ... smiley - laugh

Clever. smiley - laugh Though to be honest, from your one display piccy ... I think you've corrected nature's error just right. I mean really, who's ever encountered a blonde smiley - bat?

Well, after that last post of mine, I thought I ought to be prepared for a case of "Pinocchio Syndrome".

That reminds me ... Each year for a Christmas do, milady's company had taken the employees and partners to a Panto play, and dinner. This year, they chose not to, and so I got us reservations and seats. The play was Pinocchio, and foolishly I chose a seat on the aisle, near the front. Come the time for the scene of children playing perpetually on an island, I got dragged on-stage. They needed more children, ya see. At one point, all the children are to magically be turned into donkeys, but this was the slightly naughty version of the play. When the lights came up, all of us except the evil-dude were wearing a latex, bum-shaped mask. We'd all been made into asses.

Over the following 4 weeks, no less than 9 people recognised me on the street, on commented on how well I had made an ass of myself. smiley - doh

Oh, and a coping saw is a handy thing to have, if you are far better at detailed woodwork than I am. A brief bit about it here ... http://www.technologystudent.com/equip1/coping1.htm

Wot, no comments on my stage debut? smiley - laugh

When I was maybe 9 or 10, my grandfather gave me a small and battered tool-box, a bit of this, a bit of that. I tried to build a couple of bird houses, but the only saw that I had was one of those. They really aren't much for a straight line, especially in such inexperienced hands.

Poor birds. smiley - erm

Obviously you are simply in the wrong neighborhood then. Time to pack up and move. smiley - laugh

Sorry to say, ... no meats available to be shipped. The other two lads were so anxious for fresh links and such, right from the source ... And they were closed for the day. Fridges or something undergoing serious update/upgrades or some such. Murphy's Law, eh?
