This is Chris posting this to you from a dark and remote area somewhere in deepest Lincolnshire...stop...dial up...stop...you should receive this message about 2200 hours...stop... Food is good, company is good, work is hard. Today we finished off not one, not two, but three outhouses. Five strong men and me. They keep playing tricks on me and laughing hysterically...stop!!!!!!!  Should be back in the 21st century sometime on Friday. In the meantime we have ale, but they are talking about playing poker...  I suggested Cluedo and got laughed at!  I WANT TO GO HOME!  |

I know what you mean. I seem to have stepped back a century or two here in Negros Occidental but it grows on you after a while; as does the mould and the toadstools.

I seem to have missed something. Why are you building outhouses for negros in Lincolnshire, Chris? It all sounds a bit uncomfortable non-PC.

I'm back and I've worked bloody hard. Demolished four outhouses, cleared out a house, and dug up a huge back garden, ripping up bushes and small trees.
Not worked so hard for a long time...not manual graft any road.
Got back this morning, and slept for four hours.
Can't stand up straight..hopefully just a temporary ailment, but every bone and muscle hurts.
I deserve a fluffy point I reckon. I've earned it!
