It's Friday. Another week is done, and we managed to score off a total of 32 buildings this week, which is very good going.

We've finally finished off one of our target sections of the factory, which means that we'll be celebrating with a cake on Monday. 50% of our targeted buildings have been surveyed, and of all miraculous things... In a HUGE database comprising around 15,000 records and 82 individual buildings, we've only found two cock-ups. One was a duplicate building number, which has now been rectified, and the other is the bizarre realisation that some enthusiastic soul added an extra zero in the register, so instead of Photo Number 107453, we had Photo Number 1007452, which was a bit over-enthusiastic, I must admit.

It's Comic Relief tonight, and I won't be watching the television, because I'm afraid I find it a colossal bore. We're going to watch the pilot episode of Taggart instead ('There's been a MURR-DURR!!!). And then we'll both feel very old, when we see the strange alien trains (painted orange and black,,,) and all the industrial buildings which have now been knocked down...

Now, to commemorate today's achievement, I'm going to post a photograph of a pillbox. Okay, so it was in Somerset, and it was photographed several years ago, but it gives the right impression.

Hurrah for work successes!

I'm not watching Comic Relief either, I'm going to go out.

Sounds like a much better option.

we're gonna watch true blood
and firefly

no news for me
i get too depressing or antagonistic

It's all pretty depressing just now. Least you've got a nice safe distance between yourselves and the forthcoming conflict.

This time, it's getting a wee bit close for comfort.

oh dear what conflict is closer to you?

my news here is dreadful and incomplete

We're due to fly to Italy next month on holiday, and the Libyan thing's just kicked off.

And a certain Libyan leader has a reputation for taking out the odd air-liner. Had Pan-Am what's-er-name blown up ten minutes later, it might have come down over our house instead of Lockerbie.

A sobering thought...

oh dear trap shooting and air liners
and i thought 500 people shooting at clay pigeons annoying
traveling by land isn't the best for you
water travel takes longer

hmmmm pack up your puter
I wantta see itally!
hehehe

i love living vicarouly thru archeologists
i was supposed to fly to florida on 9-11
got my butt grounded for a month and a half
makes me wonder about flying too

Comic relief's 'Smithy' sketch was funny. Like, really funny. The rest was pretty much the usual ~ vaguely amusing, excruciatingly unfunny; & with occasional glimpses of genius. And of course, the obligatory 'stars' in various locations around Africa, sporting five o'clock shadows & insisting we give.

All very laudable. I do trust Comic Relief; I just wonder about a world in which it is needed.

And oh yes ~ today we might be playing another war game. Lots of money to spare for one of those then, boys.

Now that is boring. And deeply sickening.

It would be nice if we lived in a world where we didn't need a parade of limelight-hungry celebrities to remind us - once a year - that there's a whole lot of injustice and inequality out there that EVERYONE could and should address, with just a little bit of thought, effort, and expense...
