I'll give the G&T a miss, but thanks anyway!

Sounds like you've had an action-packed week...

OK - all the more for me!

yep it has been but unfortunately thats prett normal at the moment - hence the real need to do very little for a while!

What has been happening with you?

Oh, lots of work, you know the sort of thing. I'm on holiday myself next week, so I'm expecting this gorgeous weather to have given way to blizzards by then. In the meantime, I've got a stinking cold to fight off.

I'll take a measure of that please

Lovely to see you again LHG And no more w**k for several days

Oh sorry you wanted a glass of G&T!

I am not sure really what I am going to do but I know I am looking forward to it Well apart from the family party that is!

Glad to hear you will be getting a break too PF - do you have anything planned?

*Tries to imagine a 5' 7" G+T*

*Faints* ::THUD::

Now that's what I call a tall drink!

I'm only really planning on a bit of a rest. I might get in a bit of walking (if the weather holds), or make some use of my NT membership.

You're an NT member PF? So was I before I came to Texas. Whilst driving around the country for a living I used it often to visit all sorts of places. Flatford Mill and Willy Lott's cottage in Suffolk was particularly exciting since we had a biscuit tin depicting lots of Constable paintings when I was a kid

I really enjoyed Paycock's in Essex and Standen in... Surrey? too

I've only recently become a member; it was a birthday present. I haven't had any chance to make use of it yet, though.

You will Oscar, you will

They have some amazing places - I would love to have time to visit them!

When life is more under control I would love to become a member

It's great - if you're paying for it as a member you figure you ought to use it, so it encourages you to go out and see all these wonderful places

Hi, hows everyone? Not bin on here for a bit.

Thats why I have not joined just yet Gosho - I know I dont have time to go to all those lovely buildings!

Hi Charliebaby! Great to see you again

* helps herself to a <G&T> *

Life is pretty good for me - been really hectic - if you dont count the few days off when I did very little except visit friends, see a play, visit the family and sleep!

Was back to work with a bump today - a recruitment day that we were running for another site - only good thing was that it was closer to home than Brum so I get a bonus night here

What has been happening with everyone else?

Well, I've got to go to work for two hours very shortly

Thats a short shift

I am back to Brum in the morning (or did I mention that already) There are roadworks at the top of the M40 where it meets the M42 which I gather are causing long delays so I will have to go quite early.

Mind you its been so long since I was last in Brum my landlady sent me a text yesterday to ask when / if I would be back!

hi light!

Lighters

One more day and I'll be back at w**k too...

HI there Broe! How are you?

PF - doesnt time go quickly when you have time off w**k! Have you enjoyed your break?

not well, actually.
but as i hate whinging on maladies i prefer to look at the brighter side of things. with that in mind, i'm vertical

and how have you been?
