What a lovely boat

Sat on a boat alongside in Singapore, and what a nice boat it is, the food is fantastic and the crew seem ice, looks like I might enjoy this one!

Work

OK so it looks like the enforced holiday has been terminated, eleven weeks off, wow! OK I really do need to get back to it and reset the fun token counter (bank account is looking ragged) so hopefully a good six weeks offshore will make it tick over a touch better (plus I can't spend it as easily when I'm nowhere near a shop)

Mel & Collie

Having stated what a wonderful day it was, I grinned my way through most of yesterday, I must have grinned too much because at 7 PM I ran out of "Joie de vive" and spiraled into a deep dark funk, this mood refused to budge even after phone calls to mood evictors.
Fortunately for me, a very old and long lost friend (he is two years older than me) appeared on the net and we had a conversation which seemed to exorsize the mood I was in and provided me with a vehicle for jollification.

Thanks Andy, welcome back!

UMPC receives new lease of life due to Laptop breakdown

Which one are you?

Listening to old tunes

OK so I have arrived at that point in my life where I listen to a song (having the sort of memory that is triggered by the senses, songs & tunes always evoke memories) and I realise that it is 20 years old (or even more) and I think to myself  "no it can't be that long ago that I was....." But it IS that long ago and yes you WERE doing that (and wearing those clothes).

So much water under the bridge and so many empty beer bottles still those sharp little points of life that come shining through all the mists of time, how come they are so clear and I can't remember what I went shopping for?

Turbidity

Much happens in this world with me unaware, actually I would estimate that a gnats cock off 100% evades my consciousness (pronounced Couscous), even events pertaining to my situation are usually not brought to my attention until after the fact, normally someone asking me how I coped when such & such happened, (said person proceeding to fill in the details ) so obviously the answer to the question of how I coped is usually answered without my express input.

Case in point was when the Red Shirts were causing all sorts of problems and someone asked me how it was affecting me, "How is what affecting me?" was my reply, "The red shirts" "what Red Shirts?" at which point they informed me of the situation in Bangkok, not having TV and paying no heed to the internet news I remained oblivious to it until it was pointed out, guess I'll nver get a commission in the RAF (too old anyway).

Great isn't it?
