Collateral Damage

[anteros_lmc]

Finally, finally I've got most of my work deadlines out of the way. It's been a very long end, to a very, very long year. I try not the let RL bollox spill over into this journal, which after all is for navyboys, fangirling and nonsense, but it has to be said, the last two years have been completely and utterly shit workwise. Seems like I am

Sorry its all been so crap just lately - well generally too come to that and when you have put such energy and commitment into all the projects too

At least the navyboys have been a little consolation but what you say about the whole situation seems to chime with a few other friends in related lines of work.

Archie the Christmas tree actaully looks very fine = shall post pic of same later this month if amaraal hasn't already

Navyboys are always a consolation :) It's funny though, I wrote a post about the media reaction to the Glasgow shipyard redundancies for the Port Towns folk recently and couldn't help reflecting on the lack of coverage of redundancies in the education sector.

Welcome back to the normal (or, at least less worse) world!
I hope you'll have some rest and nice Christmas holidays.

BTW I've never seen this photo before and I love his expression here(*^_^*)/

Aye, I'm not sure it's every entirely "norma;" here! :}

I hope you'll have some rest and nice Christmas holidays.
I hope so too! We've already been enjoying the lovely sweets you sent. Daughter's friends were astonished by the strawberry flavoured kitkats, the little ship biscuits are almost gone already and I may have eaten most of the chewy grape sweeties myself :} I sent a little parcel off to you last weekend, I hope it arrives before Christmas!

It's one of those screencaps that just captures a moment perfectly :)

Ah. Tousled Archie. Post snogging, I suspect.

Sorry life has been so crappy. Nuffink much to report here except a lack of hours in the day and how England can't play cricket.

BTW Were your ears burning last night? We were discussing you and toots just about every time Glasgow knocked on.

[anteros_lmc]

Lack of hours in the day is certainly an issue here too. Cricket less so ;)

We were discussing you and toots just about every time Glasgow knocked on.
Sheesh. Knocking on was the least of it. We were there, & it was an abysmal game. I hope both teams were suitably mortified. Don't think I've ever seen such blatant time wasting. Glasgow need to get a grip, they started the season really well, but they've completely lost it in the last few. Think Big Al's days are numbered.

That block that meant the try was disallowed... Aaargh!

[anteros_lmc]

....Duncan Weir's missed penalty....too many chances missed. Did you see the end of the first half? What a shambles. That ref was completely out of his depth, no control over the game at all.
