As I have just spent 5 days in hospital with an infection runnining round my body, I am on atibiotics for the next 8 days. This of course will limit my alcohol intake to zero for most of it, but look out next Thursday, as having drinks with friends who fly in that day.  Enjoy your break  and your recovery, Connie, we'll all be here to  home...

Sorry, Bruce, it's just that I remember "Greenies", spending a lot of time in their bunks, whilst at sea.

You forgot that the ETP's/MTL's were working hard with the Engineering dept, we were never spending working hours in our bunks. I have spent many a watch with the engineering dept, on FFG both on the EPCC, and as a ASM or trainee PSM.

Finally the time has come to move on from Holbrook to our new digs in Vineyard. I will be out of touch for a week or two but looking forward to a new start when I can concentrate on my footy tipping and other important tasks.
