Like an abcess?

Re: Don't it always seem to go............
 

No, I wasn't talking about you Bil.

Re: Don't it always seem to go............
 

Obviously. Otherwise I wouldn't have responded like that.

How's life treating you?

Did you misplace your Joni Mitchell album again??

Re: Don't it always seem to go............
 

OK, on the wind down to the hols now. Just got to get the missus moving with the packing or I'll have to buy stuff when I'm there - bloody lazy mare,

Re: Don't it always seem to go............
 

Where are you off to?

I've just been to the vet's for the dogs' blood tests to see if their rabies shots took OK, so that'll be another massive bill, I dare say.

Chiclana on Fri.

Re: Don't it always seem to go............
 

Lucky sod. Have a beer there for me.

How long for??

Re: Don't it always seem to go............
 

I'll get you loads of beer and a few shorts - we're all inclusive. Just for a week, though I don't think that's going to be long enough to fit in all my personal appearances - might have to go back again later in the year.

Re: Don't it always seem to go............
 

If you are there after Sep 8 let me know, and we'll try and meet up.

Re: Don't it always seem to go............
 

The day after my b/day!!
Is that d-day for the permanent move?? Surprisingly Crispy was gushing with nice stuff about you - so yeah - if we do return I'll make sure you know.

Re: Don't it always seem to go............
 

Thank you, I'm touched that she should have spoken well of me. Did she mention the extra head btw??

We met up with C&Mal and they were most charming. Nice to find people are pleasant in real life, and intelligent to boot.

Jan is moving there permanently, I shall be what they call an extreme commuter, as I sadly still have to earn a living. I shall be there for a week or two after the 8th and then it will be two weeks on and one off till xmas and the end of the busy season. The first half of the year I will be two weeks off and one week at work.

Crispy was pretty positive about you too.

Re: Don't it always seem to go............
 

She's not met me yet!!

Extreme commuting? sounds more like part time to me!

Re: Don't it always seem to go............
 

True, but it's about packing more work into the weeks I work, for example working Saturdays, and doing long days for two weeks and then having a week off instead of a weekend every week.

Plus our business is very seasonal, so it may slip to three and one instead of two and one.
