There’s a good chance I’ll be in central Dublin (or wherever Lower Mount Street is) on Wednesday night this week. If it does happen, anyone fancy a few pints? (I won’t know for sure until tomorrow, so I thought I’d post in advance on the off-chance) ---

Unfortunately it’s Wednesday or nothing (the person I’m supposed to meet can’t do Friday and tomorrow’s too short notice) - looks like my timing might be a little off then… I’ll bump this tomorrow on the off-chance (and in case I know for sure either way). ---

Oops. I’m there Thursday but probably have to fly back that day. I won’t find out for sure until this afternoon (waiting for someone in yet another country to say yes). If I can I’ll stay until Friday. ---

At 4.00pm today it was all go - start phoning for hotels etc. At 4.15pm today the client realised that the person I need to speak to is in fact in Madrid currently. Sorry Twisty, all. ---

Sadly not. Warrington and Sellafield are on my Christmas schedule. Woo. ---

Slough? Pah. 2003 was a Berkshire year through and through. I’ll be glad never to see Maidenhead, Slough or the M4 again. 2004 appears to be even more glam; as well as Warrington and Sellafield, I can look forward to Acton, Isleworth, Didcot and Harrogate (maybe). Must lose my passport between now and then (!). ---
