Wednesday November 5th 2008

I will continue to fly the flag for Stewart blogs, even though all others have fallen I will rise and fly the flag.....

And mum too, apologies! A disappointing effort lately from Kelly and Lucy, and even Dad - being abroad is no excuse! The most important news today doesn't involve Luca strangely but work. Firstly my colleague (there's 2 of us to do the same role) has quit, so there may be a slight incremental increase to my workload. Also, it looks like there's a couple of trips in the pipeline, most notably to Cambodia next year! It'll be around April, and will involve 4-5 days away. Nothing exciting, it's to do with a worldwide group we're involved with and one of us has to show face - and it's going to be me. I may have to start reading the book Kelly got me for Christmas....

I came home last night with a big box of food - banana's, lettuce, tomatoes, apples, eggs, etc. We deal with BP's offshore rigs, and a couple of pallets of food had missed the chopper so as it would have been thrown away anyway I filled a box with as much as I could! However, I've eaten too many eggs now. Always the same when something is free!

Big game on TV tonight, Celtic V Manchester United. The first game was on a week or two ago, but this one is only on Sky rather than "cheapy civvy TV" so I may need to find a bar. Football and beer, godamnit life is hard. I will make a point of seeing Luca before the game starts, though I hope he's in a better mood than yesterday. His new favourite word is "no" and his usage of this increases daily......

Finally, with reference to mum's blog - no-one is monitoring us!

**Useless fact of the day - Based on all serious UFO groups, it is claimed that beings from other planets have been living among us since 1968 and monitor us for reasons unknown**
