Normal Service Will be Resumed as Soon as Possible.

Sorry for the interruption.

Congee, comfort and a wrecked fence.

My Beloved is a superb cook. Even though at the moment she has a major health issue (semi-continuous nausea) she always has a hot and delicious meal waiting for me when I arrive home.

Health

I'm in charge

 Of a totally f*cked gang of moronic thugs

I am in charge of coordinating any relief teaching at Nuova Lazio High.

Struggling Back

Hello again.

I'm going to the World Cup

This has been a very long and strange week.

Chaos in Nuova Lazio

I took the day off.

Mononucleosis and the Sterling 9mm sub-machine gun

Epstein-Barr virus (causes mononucleosis)

I was in Germany with the British Army on the Rhine (BAOR).  I was a newly commissioned 2nd Lieutenant, seconded to 1st Armoured Division near Herford.  My job was to lead (that's a joke;  Ask any soldier what the most dangerous thing is in war.  He'll answer "A 2nd Lieutenant with a map") a small detachment from my based-in-Britain regiment to a major CPX (a Command Post exercise on the large training grounds nearby)

Optimistic

Today is going to be a good day.

Keep Going

As I predicted, I didn't have a good day.
