Thanks fellow Tropicans!

CK - "It's here again Coffeebean!" Yep, there's no stopping it, so I say you might as well celebrate it, infact lets just reframe it completely and welcome another year with ...
joy hope ...out looking in the mirror.

"Have a Strawberry Fizzy or two, and many happy returns."
I have and I
may will have a few more - here let me pour you one too. Thank you.

Railnut - Thanks 'Nut - your turn for the "46" club soon. It doesn't actually feel any different.

TeamStar - Cheers! Fizzies are on me - order your favourite.

<CB's blog> Same job - it's OK and quite a comfortable rut.
Resigned from union steward - lots of reasons, none major. Possible pay rise ahead with possible back pay - fingers crossed, still fighting. No chickens yet, depends on move. Definitely going to next stage of moving house. Found town we'd like to live in - house prices there seem attainable - phoning estate agencies tomorrow to get estimates on selling. Town we like is small, surrounded by countryside and has a chocolatier!
Unfortunately seems to have some restricted areas as to where you can keep chickens!

Not played any Tropico recently, been playing Civ 4 - got Morrowwind as a present so playing that next. Other presents include 4 canvases (abstract art can't be that difficult!), a nut and seed bird feeder, a bottle of blackberry liqueur, a book - "Good Omens" and a thermos to take homemade soup to work for my lunch! (All excellent gifts - thank you Mr CB.)
Oh, and I am on some annual leave at the moment - since last Thursday and not due back in until Monday so Yay! for Spring break!

Fizzies this evening consist of some delicious spiced rum so very Pirate Coveish!
So the drinks are on me - cheers.
