Back to the madness on Friday....

....after the German trip. Will post a couple of pics from Wermelskirchen later. They're on me Blackberry and I can't be arsed to install the software on the laptop from which I'm doing this.

Reasonable trip but brought back to reality on return to the office and more of the craziness that is going on right now.

D'you know, the company I work for was established in 1792 and has survived two World Wars, the depressions of the '20's and 30's, three day weeks in the 1970s and the steel strikes of the 1980's..... Then along came the bankers.... and suddenly, the decision about whether to retire in January 2010 when I get to the dreaded 60 might be made for me well before then.

It makes me so very angry - and what's worse is that I can do sod all about it.

Thinking about it - you lot down there in Derbyshire never really do know what day it is.

Spending so much time down there is obviously starting to affect me too!

(That would have been much funnier if I had thought of it as my first response wouldn't it!? ;-)
