Its like my house, geese, a shire.......

I wonder whether the plan is to rest the horse once it has acclimatised? It'll get pretty bored there for an hour prior to the show in his small area. The othe critters are fine. May be they will let the horse walk round the track for the hour to keep him busy.

Cashpoint would only dispense £200 ... on the other hand, the 1st place didn't want to take my money. He said he could tell I was an honest person and he's laid back about me paying and no deposit required.

It's good that others can spot NPs

If you are after something other than opening and closing, its worth continuing to try one of the minor events just to experience it. Would you be able to see the opening ceremony fireworks from your place? It may be worth working out which direction to look from the window.

I think we will probably be able to see them but I don't know if I will be awake @ midnight...been a bit of a week and we have to fly to Romania Monday night..... but because of time contraints will do an overnight flight (+ the time difference + 3 hour drive to other city from airport) go straight to factory for the day.
Kind of figured I could store up sleep credits tonight to prepare. But seems a shame to miss them.....

All a bit of a panic today as new stockist chain retailer who ordered a trail range for online have decided we launch in 3 flagship stores instead. This makes life very tricky as the lead is short and and a trial online is small qtys but trial in 4 stores (3 RL + 1 online) is a bigger deal and 2 styles we don't have enough units.

Worse, Thursday other chain onliner did a huge repeat order that the factories we use just don't have time to fit in as I have already got work booked in with them.......had to do some juggling and they say yeah yeah we'll get it done plus the pre -booked dockets but then they say that so I allocate them the docket....then don't do it on time

I'm always warning my students against herbal teas as many of them have drug effects; for example mint tea seems diuretic.

I seem to recall that it's apparently the universal antidote to homeopathic drugs and people who take those treatments have to find non-mint toothpastes.:D

I wonder why that is.......does that mean mint toothpast is not a good thing?

I fancy doing the horse thing but the time of year is just against us especially as it will be flowing summer product

Yup. DW was in a meeting today and they all rushed to the window to see the flame go past on the river. Won't be watching many of the events though!

Maybe next year we should have a eurovision final nice people meet up?

Olympics. Pre show starts at 20:12, the show itself starts at 9pm. I'm not sure if DH will be coming home, as at KFC he bumped into the Swedish volleyball team...

You could remind him that .... with the pick of men at their beck and call, why'd they want to choose a married man

I was going to have a bet on how many units Hamish will knock back tonight.
If he has had a good week than I will got for 9 units of quality red (about 2/3rd bottle)
A bad week and he may do 70 units in one go like the other week.

That flame retardent chemical Zag is terrible. I had no idea it was out into food and things.
