whotheheckamiHmmm not a lot to say really.
I’m still in France and stuck in the office even though the sun is shining brightly outside. I collected a lot of information yesterday including a very interesting report that had been left by a printer – all grist to the mill!
Back to the hotel to set up the laptop and then swear profusely when it didn’t connect. Spent several angry minutes pissing about with modem, internet and AOL* settings. In disgust I unplugged the phone line and reconnected it the phone to all AOL and moan at them – no signal! This muppet had forgotten to check the phone line first and the hotel muppets had not activated it! Duh!
Met some other colleagues in the hotel bar and had three large beers on an empty stomach – this was not “A Good Idea”. Two or three more large beers accompanied a mexican “feast” (So much for tasting the culinary excellence that is available in Beauvais) and they were rounded off by two more as nightcaps from the Irish Bar and the hotel. Consequently, it was a less than coherent Mel that sent a number of text messages to the world – sorry if you got one!
I poured myself into my room and discovered thattatsdixon was online. We had a long chat and I think I promised her the moon, stars, eternal happiness and a plant! One hopes that one did not make too much of an arse of oneself.
No surprises for guessing that I’m feeling a bit on the rough side of normality this morning, but I’ve had a can of Coke and chocolate and I haven’t had to resort to any pharmaceuticals.
* Yes, I do use AOL, but only because I travel a lot and it seems to be the most cost-effective way to log on from anywhere.
