Monday through Wednesday - Perl course in Bristol. Thursday and Friday - PHP course in Swindon. "Of Course" newsletter - autumn edition - to be proof read. Opentalk and other boards to be checked and moderated. Contract work / elements to be slotted in. Typical quiet week ;-)
Stopped overnight with son Chris and Delene (customers may remember Delene working for us a couple of years ago) at their place in Bristol. They flooded last week - the same day as the Boscastle deluge - but nothing so dangerous or dramatic. They're just dried out and have been "tanked" to ensure that water doesn't come up again through the floor. So they have
* Black floor
* Black Sofa
* Black cat
and you sure as heck have to watch your step around here to avoid standing or sitting on the latter when he's on either of the two former. Never seen such a matching cat.
Pictured, in this instance, against a contrasting background!
