Happy birthday lir, can you celebrate it tomorrow when you've got today out of your system?

We are never, ever, ever eating again.


I'm sure tomorrow we will feel up to the original plan.

In fact literally we have tonight.....bath then bed. But didn't imagine it quite like this.

LIR and GDB hope you feel better soon. Toe is extremely purple but not sure if fractured, walking is painful but I guess it may just be bruised? Also got sore throat and little voice and headache. And having read this I'm worried that we didn't reheat chicken properly at dinner - I guess we will find out in he coming hours...

Isn't ACORN at a similar resolution to LA ward?

I did something similar to my toe in India. I went to see the local GPs who reassured me that it was definitely not broken. Such a shame that he was wrong. Still, it seems to work just as well as before, despite being at a very strange angle. So, I'd go and see the Minor Injuries unit, if I were you.

They had a very interesting sign up in the Indian GP's. "Ultrasound: We will NOT tell you the child's sex."

Happy belated birthday LiR!

Sorry for this last few days, I've been a bit of a lurker, as I've had some important meetings, and not only have I managed to blag myself (unpaid) onto Baltic Voice (60 artist contest), I've also managed to blag myself into a 30 artist publishing/events contract for the next 5 years.

I've got a meeting with Mercedes now on Tuesday, to get my hands on 6 Sprinters on Lithuanian plates (thanks to S&B Commercials of Stansted for this one, as they're going to lead negotiations with a dealership in Vilnius to get the vehicles to Mazeikiai).

Only catch, is that I need the vehicles for June 1st, and in a specialist spec (black paint, MWB high roof, with 9 leather captains seats, 26in TV, black windows 2/3 of the way down and a bulkhead behind the seats, are just some of the options).....I think this may be an un-MSE bribe to get this one through!

We now be moving into country 14, with Lithuanian operations!

I'll be around later, probably, as I'm still technically in a meeting with a Lithuanian guy.

Mine is similar: Wealthy achievers - wealthy executives - well off managers, larger houses
My dad's postcode (where I grew up) comes out as: Urban prosperity - prosperous professionals - older professionals in detached houses and appartments. Which is odd, because the entire area consists of semis. They're large semis, but definitely semis.

Lydia.....

Other physics minded people.....

All our heaters are plugged in and I failed to find any calor gas bottle heaters suitable for indoors today (we had planned to buy two and put one at the foot of the front stairs and one in the kitchen facing the rest of the house but after we said they were for indoor use the people wouldn't sell them to us...grrr.

So, one of the things we have opn ATM is a work light...it throws out a lot of heat but of course it's noT cheap. Something that occurred to me is that where the fireplace is and the lit has hit the brick the brick is warm. Would it be better use of the light to shine it at this internal protrusion of bricks rather than the open room, so that the 'wall' acts like a storage heater?

Shouldn't think it would make much difference. Whatever you shine it at will absorb the heat and reradiate it into the room at some speed or another. I'm too sleepy to think it through thoroughly, though, I'm afraid. (That collection of words wasn't intentional, but now I've typed it I rather like the through-thorough-though combination. )

Well, I am having a pants day. It's been full of minor niggles but has just reached a somewhat yucky crescendo.

Dh insisted we have prawns earlier. I really didn't fancy them but.....anyway, we both now have food poisoning. We worked this out half way through running a bath with two kettles and the shower hose.

This took ages and kept tripping the electrics. Because its my birthday I got first bath. I was then promptly sick in it because I couldn't get out in time.

Oh no. Hope you feel better soon. Remember that birthdays don't have to be celebrated on the right day. I'm an August birthday person, so all my life I've had birthday celebrations postponed a week or three until the people I might want to celebrate with have come back off their summer holidays.

Quite right. Like my friend who had a birthday on 29th February we all have the right to declare an official birthday that's more convenient. I know three (unconnected) people who were born on New Year's Eve. Don't envy them!

GDB.....how are you this morning?

We're alive, woot!,

Typically sun is out and garden seems possible, but we are as weak as kittens.
