    Lie in tomorrow while Mrs V does the Ballet & tuition run and pops round to her mates for coffee. Spent most of the week on another site tidying up after one of my inherited staff. Project management isn't hard just keep people informed, why do us IT geeks do it so badly? Finished one of my projects this week though

    Plan C or hanging doors when I surface.

    Sunday not sure should spoil mrs V. She's worth it. I might even cook, not sure her stomach is up to it.

    You should have bought him Schott Zweisel, they are less delicate.

    Bleedin' carnival. Yesterday was Weiberfastnacht (he womans day where they they will cut yout tie off at work if you're wearing one, or pull your trousers down! An old fertility rite.) Everyone at work buggered off at 11:11 for drinks and then they had a big party at 15:00 in the main office with booze and fancy dress and music so I left at 13:00. A company in Löln desperately wants to talk to me for a contract there to fill in the rest of the week yet you can't get hold of anyone. They sent an SMS to call them on Thursday but no repy on the phone and sending an e-mail only gets an out of office until Tuesday so they'll have to wait until Friday now, so much for urgency!

    Did Rosenmontag once in Köln, freezing cold and all the pubs are packed full of drunken people but quite easy to pull

    When the ironing pile falls over and threatens to bury the children, it gets taken down to Johnsons.

    Travelling to see my best buddy and spend the weekend at his place. Birthday celebrations are the name of the game - his, not mine.

    It's so nice. You give her a big bag full of creased stuff and it all comes back on hangers looking perfect. Never again will I look creased
