When you look forward to the "freebie" weekends so you can check your research (subs too costly from this side) and then spend the entire day trying to sort out one branch til you totally confuse yourself even when you write it down. :o ;D

You'll be back, firing on all cylinders before you know where you are - just get ONE tasty new bit of information, and it all flares up again.

I did have a quick peep at the Pollard line....   but the matches wouldn't strike,  (oh dear.... ..that is supposed to be a funny play on words...  :-X :-\ ;D ;D ;D ;D)

And that's when my wife wants to go out and buy something for the house or garden, or suggests a daytrip somewhere; and almost invariably it is those weekends that she suggests we go out for a meal. Doesn't she realize I can eat a sandwich at my laptop?  ::)  ;D ;D ;D

My thoughts exactly, whats wrong with peanut butter and jam sandwiches (about the extent of OH's culinary skills) and coffee (instant).  At least there is a cricket match tomorrow to keep them occupied. ;D ;D
