        Nope. End of August I was offered an extension through to the end of December, and turned it down.

        Not entirely convinced that it was the smartest move, now

            Spot of bench warming coming up myself from the 4th, was planned for the 18th and contracted to the 31st, but the projects are done so time to go.

            I won't miss being 280 miles from home, but it's been interesting work.

              Oh my god! You are just like my kids. I tell you not to sit there and what do you do! I will have to wait until it has dried and then rub it down again and revarnish.

              Don't do it again!

                  I'm not going to miss the 4 hour round trip to London every day.

                  it's a b*gger but it's where all my work is unfortunately.

                    I do wish these newcomers would stop disrupting the bench. Some of us are trying to catch 40 winks you know?
