    Currently posting this from my bed at the Majestic Hotel in Bologna after having slept off lunch and plenty of Sambuca. Off to Pappagallo for dinner in a couple of hours. More of the same tomorrow. Have fun.

      She's got me painting sprogs bedroom as he's back from Uni next week with the latest bint in tow

      Colour scheme is antique white with one wall a slate grey for effect (blame daytime TV for that abomination) what is wrong with magnolia?

      You ever tried cutting in a grey wall onto white coving, skirting & adjacent walls?

      I hate painting but the carpet fitters are on site first thing in the morning

        Drinking second cup of coffee. Going through a 70 page operating manual for a Suhkoi Su-25 "Frogfoot" in the Digital Combat Simulator World.

        I have worked out take off and landings, the Air-to-Air mode, successfully shot down an A-10 "Warthog" with an R-60 missile. Has a bloody narrow seek window though. Now trying to decipher the Air-to-Ground mode. Will buy the Warthog package if this sim works out well.

          Flip me, at that rate you'll be called to the colours and end up doing the real thing, dodging Taliban missiles in Afghanistan

            Had some friends around for a belated pancake evening last night.

            Off to Sligro ( cloggy equivalent of a catering cash and carry) in a bit to get the ingredients for a stew for 45 people, been enlisted to cook for an event for someone next Friday.

            This evening cooking a nice meal for me and Mr N to celebrate being back in cloggers full time

            Tomorrow is cloggy film club at my old language school.

              Trying to get some test data requirements out of a bunch of Bobs. They can't be trusted to run an update or insert into the database themselves.

              I might get out of here by 3pm if I'm lucky.

                  Sitting on a bench waiting for the cocktail of painkillers, powerade and coffee to do it's work, then breakfast, then changing some roms in a random ebay buy and hopefully getting it working properly.

                  Tomorrow taking eldest to a museum or something of that ilk.
                  While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                    Off to Ikea to pick up some bathroom fittings and accessories shortly. Builder says bathroom will be finished on Tuesday. Not sure I believe him (he also said he'd start early January but didn't actually show up until last Monday).

                    Dinner out with a few neighbours tonight. Not much planned for tomorrow.
