    Then there's the September jaunt thread to deepest,darkest Transylvania to do.Yes,that's right:we're staying with a another relative of Igor's,his old uncle whatshisface in a lovely hotel (or so I'm told).
    Yes,so get packing folks.This is going to be a fab break...I can feel it in my water,as some say.

    Today and yesterday were nsds.No money to spend.

    See you all tomorrow!
