Morning Troopers,

Stand by your beds!

Hope you're all doing well - I am up with the birds this morning as have a Saturday shift AGAIN. I'll have worked 21 days straight by the time I go on holiday at month's end, so think I'll deserve it.

Starts - how did you get on with the interviews?

Inchy - congrats on your exam results!

Tips - Hope you got there safe and sound - keep your chin up!

Everyone else - enjoy your weekend

My producer was on the phone yesterday to a certain Mr Clooney - might be meeting him in October - pretty cool eh?

Hiya EW!
Standing tall (ish) here by me rather unruly nest.

Wow!! Do you need someone to carry your pen or something in October???

Interviews, well, one was majorly fooked up. The interview went ok but there was a test in Excel that was in the latest version, that I havent used. The other one, I think went OK, so fingers crossed.

I'm in a city called Pretoria (Tshwane), north of Joburg. Practically my entire family lives here. They say the food market reminds them of the Cape, so it must be good.

Good luck at work EW. There are advantages to the daily office routine, I guess. I only have to work weekends once or twice a year.

Morning Army
PM box cleared.
I was out walking pug dog before it gets too hot. Getting up to about 31C today and his smooshed in little face doesn't breathe too well when we hit temps like that.
How's everybody today?

How are you today Mrs A? Not sure which words those were but you are very welcome. Now all I need to do is learn to take some of my own advice.

Morning Expat, no such worries here with the temperature.

Hi Army! Food porn is always appreciated. Can it involve a banana please? I was having a whinge to Tips this morning about the price of same in Oz at the moment. So nothing icky just a nice piece of fruit?
