    My employer spent the money that was supposed to cover 20% of my wages on outsourcing, so my weekend starts on Thursday evening. Today I spent the afternoon pacticing management skills at the "Conference & Recreational Centre" - by hitting a small ball with long sticks. I took my camera along too, because the hot summer has resulted spectacular autumn colours - photos here. This evening I'll also be having pizza and :beer: I think, but homemade. (the pizza that is, not the :beer: )

        Glasgow. Ross Priory (the conference center and golf course) is about 20 miles outside the city on the south-east bank of Loch Lomond. It's marked on this map. The mountains in the background of the photos are the trossachs.

              I jumped out of a perfectly good working aeroplane then bought a new carpet for the hallway. I'm still buzzing on adrenalin from the fact I've just bought a carpet.. or maybe it was the jump.. oh. I dunno. My world tour What I do now..

                  Roger, you have to do it! It's awesome. Still, kneeling in an aeroplane with no door is kinda scary. The statistics are very good. Very few people go splat... go on.. I can't stop grinning. :-D:-D:-D have a great weekend. Adam. My world tour What I do now.. "I spent a lot of my money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered" George Best.

                            After several weeks working away in a flat where the noise is so bad I put the matress in the kitchen and still only getting about 6 broken hours sleep I am back home for a week. 10 hours sleep the first night ! Woohoo ! And the good news is, after I go back there is another flat available after about a week that is nice and quiet :) The bad bit is, I only have dialup there so less messages than usual :( Elaine (baggy eyed fluffy tigress) The tigress is here :-D
