Still I'm pleased - big grin and actually looking forward to doing the tests. Sad ain't I
That's great news, OS. Fingers crossed.

All done - young spark was excited at possibly being paid. I said he would have to work hard and no slacking to play games

Very tiring. We left our hotel at 7:30 this morning to have coffee and croissants at a beautiful patisserie we found before heading out on the long walk to Prague Castle. We walked all around the castle for about 3 hours before going on a river cruise for lunch then getting the tram & a bus to the old Jewish cemetery way out on the other side if the city. It's just about 6 pm and we've just got back to the hotel about 20 minutes ago. I'm really hot (it was 36 today) and sunburnt. I'll sleep tonite, though.

Sounds like you're having a busy but great time.

Woke up to the sound of rustling in the ceiling, so went out and bought some ratsak pouches and threw them up through one of the ceiling hatches.

Could always be refugees, if the ratsak doesn't work I'll send up a Biryani.
