@kdfrawg Thank you. It wasn't that awful. And how are you going to recognise good times without bad times to set them against?

Treated myself to a Guinness - surprisingly good, considering I am in an "Irish" pub in Rome - to celebrate the end of a less than perfect week.

As an "other" friend who will, nevertheless, be celebrating with his friends, backatcha.

(No, Otto Corrupt, not backache.)

@kdfrawg Maybe in the greater scheme of things, but who knows.

Here's a little gift [patreon.com] for anyone caught up in, or recovering from, Thanksgiving.

Make sure you buy a spare (or pick one up on 26 December, when they are dirt cheap if there are any left) in order to make pannetone bread and butter pudding.

You'll be glad you did.

Another fruitless visit to the gas company. This is getting very tiresome. They can't give us a date, can't tell us why, cant tell me the penalty if I open it myself.


Seems reasonable to me.

There are also hints and rumours on the site that active noise-cancelling is in the works.

@kdfrawg I know. And I wanted to write something in Danish, I'd hire a professional.

Mind you, many English native speakers don't know any better.
