Back in business ...
while you chaps have been pontificating or fulminating (nice long words) about the global financial crisis and how to sort out Gadaffi ... muggins has been brought low by a local phenomenon hard to imagine.

I’ve been discombobulated from the Internet for 25 days ... caused by a cable-stealing gang ... which disrupted the landline telephones to my domus ... the jokers worked in the dead of night digging up copper cables ... it appears that there is a better return on selling copper cables than earning
one’s bread running an architectural practice.

I’m thinking of buying another spade ... to improve my return.

That's the enterprising spirit ! And long live it!

Welcome back, Springbok !

Welcome back, btb. I was beginning to wonder if I would ever again see an illuminating non-standard score visualization.

Welcome back btb. Good to see you again.

Nice to see you back, btb!

Currently in Leavenworth, Washington for the weekend. It was a beautiful drive over the mountains (weather was perfect) and about to enjoy a German supper: sauerbraten, potato dumpling and red cabbage, all to be washed down with a German Riesling.

Cheers!

Thanks chaps for the kind words

But in passing ... must just ask why fan gorged himself on all that Deutch food at Leavenworth ... strangely, spied some pumpernickel at the local store yesterday and was tempted to sample ... having last tasted
a bit of the tooth-busting speciality when Hitler was a boy.

Kind regards,
btb
