CLOSED - THANKS to all customers for the last few years

Its been raining hard all day here, I would guess more than an inch in the last 24 hours however across the country in Washinton state they had over 8 Inches of rain in 24 hours !

We spend most of the day indoors ;-) in shops and at the cinema (saw The Departed excellent).

Morning from NY City, dull and grey here but at least it isnt raining!

Today is our last day in the city, this afternoon we will be getting a train to Huntington on Long Island to spend a few days staying with a friend before we fly back on Sunday evening.

Coffee shop has been very quiet today, any chance of a Danish and a cuppa?

No probs Spacie - sorry been hoovering like a maniac this morning but will rustle up a danish and a cuppa for you :>)

excellent thanks bunny......

The sun has just appeared over the East River, our room is on the 31st floor, its strange because is calm and relaxed up here when down at ground level its madness ;-)

We had a great example of the NY attitude regarding customers "The customer is always wrong" ordered 2 cups of coffee the server produced one, when Mrs S asked for the other one the woman said she had only ordered one and made a big fuss about us changing our mind, had it been me I would have waited until she had served the second cup and then I would made a point of telling her that yes indeed we had got it wrong and we had meant to order none and I would have left ! However Mrs S is much kinder tham me ;-)

;O). I'll have to remember that one Spaceman.

Ham & Mustard sandwich anybody?

No Ta K I'm stuffed on marmite on toast :>)

No, its not acceptable. Get that FTSE up again.

Beautiful day here in Paris. Been sitting in a meeting room next to the Seine with a great view of the Eiffel Tower. At least I can look at the view while they all babble away in French.

Jeff sounds lovely, our London office is similar and overlooks Big Ben and the London Eye, bit distracting when I am meant to be concentrating ;-)

How is the new job going.


Bright and sunny day here in CentrePort Long Island as well.

Going ok, just looking forward to getting paid. Cashflow is a problem first couple of months.

Was hoping to get sent to NY on the project but not looking likely now.

Hello all. All you busy contractors/consultants jetting around the world makes me quite weary. I think I may have to retire early. At least its the week-end again and I can think about haviong a rest. Only think about it though, her-indoors has made sure I have plenty to do.

Socs, I am not busy I am on holiday ;-)

Jeff but think how happy you will be when you get paid !!

I was very busy when I was on holiday, in fact I had to go back to work for a rest!

Socs, I shall be back for a rest on Monday, currently sitting in the sun in Long Island listening to the one oclock news on Radio 4 over the internet and thinking of having some lunch before walking down to the beach ;-)

Here it is 18:05, cold, wet and dark!

Morning all, just arrived home in Sevenoaks and its bright and sunny. Flight was fine but my car had a flat battery when I got to the car park, luckily the parking people our used to this problem and they sent a van round and had it sorted in about 5 minutes.

Any chance of a quick Danish before I have a snooze.

Welcome back.

Danish warming.

Danish eaten! ;>)

Shouldnt you girlies have started your pre christmas diets by now

Yes jeff they should be too busy making Christmas cakes for us to have time to eat!
