    Not yet. One of my plans is to resist buying an overpriced pile of bricks and instead get a boat suitable for living aboard, then off to the Med and onto who knows where.

    As I have no real sailing experience apart from the odd boating lake outing or ferry trip, I suspect the dream will be out of reach of reality. But who knows, maybe one day rodders.

    I've got to take DD2 to a birthday party at 10.30, then I have to go food shopping.
    Not sure what else today holds.
    Tomorrow - the usual Sunday dinner, ironing etc...

    Down to Chichester at sparrow's tomorrow, up the solent to Cowes, maybe back to Portsmouth for a night out in Gun Wharfe

    Winter sailing is cold but soooooooooo worth it!

    Have had a very productive "plan b" week, and looking forward to a bit of sea air

    At the clientco I was at recently it was a term for getting the permies to sacrifice their lunch break by taking a packed lunch to a meeting with whoever it is they had to brownose that day.

    I love permies, they provide loads of entertainment when I'm too busy to be on CUK. It's like watching hamsters in a maze.

    Mugging up on Python.

    Sorting some of my DVD collection into the DJ box I recently bought.

    Bunging up some rat holes with broken glass.

    If time may toddle down to the British Museum and see what they've done with the old Reading Room. From how a colleague described it today, I have ghastly visions of some "new infantilist school" My Little Pony architectural horror!
