Haloman Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 (edited) My replacement is booked on the first of his internal flights to reach me, on Thursday morning. I'm hoping I'll be able to start making my westwards by the weekend, or at worst, immediately after it. "I'm coming home, I've done my time........................"

Haloman Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 (edited) Whilst I was out exercising on the runway, the Afghan National Army moved in en-masse and took it over within a matter of minutes, completely unopposed. I think I can count myself lucky that I managed to get away before they'd organised themselves properly, otherwise I may have found myself batting on a bit of a sticky wickett with an attacking field. I think they were also hoping I'd agree to field on the boundary. Edited October 19, 2010 by Haloman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timtum Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Some "firsts" today. I have: made bacon from scratch, trimming the pork loin, salting and flavouring, then wrapping for the next couple of weeks swept a chimney which proved to be very messy, and discovered that the installers had not properly connected the flue to the chimney. Lucky I ain't dead. Designed, translated and printed some sausage labels Watched my two French builders do a full day's work - well half nine this morning until six tonight with just the two hours off for lunch!

Severus Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 [*]Watched my two French builders do a full day's work - well half nine this morning until six tonight with just the two hours off for lunch! Like most builders. Get to work at 7, 2 hour breakfast. Hours graft, hour teabreak. Lunch and then clock off at 3 (this coming from an English builder at our place).

No, not really, she says she thought I wouldn't mind going out for more when I woke up. How little she knows me... after 11 years of marriage she still can't get that I'm not civilised in a morning until I've had my cup of tea and breakfast.
