O, and the builders are finished, I can go home and see my children.

The person I'm covering for has been signed off sick for another 4 weeks. Obviously I wouldn't wish long term injury on anyone, but her loss is my gain.
By the time that's up I'll have stunned & impressed them so much with my wonderfulness they'll surely find something else for me to do. Maybe.

Hope it turns into a permanent job (assuming you like the place!)  :thumbsup:
It's a brewery! What's not to like  ;D

Messrs Greene, King & Co? If so, most of their beer, I'd say!  :P

Just had my first ever Skype conversation.  With my daughter in Toronto.  I love technology  :)

And now I wish I'd said a dozen more things.

I've been singing some choruses from The Messiah this evening. It's such a wonderful work.

CDs should always be housed in a secure locked cabinet and a register kept of the serial numbers, where they have come from, and their use or subsequent disposal. ;D
Getting there...

Cowboy Junkies - Trinity Session.  As recommended by a friend.  I love it.

Yep, it's logged in the book.  And filed in alphabetical order, too.  As opposed to autobiographical  :P  Will you counter-sign for me at the weekend?  ;)

Well, boab-word me.  That is possibly the nicest boab-wording news I've heard all boab-wording day.
