Glad he got home safely last night, Maggie. He gave a great talk to the Moray Group on Erics. I won't bother putting his name on the speakers thread, everybody already knows what to expect ;D

Always gratifying to be applauded though, David ... especially when different lectures are introduced.  I'm certain that even the Bulb Despot still appreciates every plaudit?   :D

And I'm so happy that NZ's cricketers (stupidly known as the Black Caps. What's wrong with their country's name?) beat Pakistan here in Dunedin yesterday. A 5 day test which seemed pretty mediocre throughout until it had a very exciting and nail biting finish. On each day I was able to go to it, there was some rain and no play or poor light and early finishes and the days with perfect weather, warm and sunny throughout, I had to go to meetings and other work stuff. Roger got to see the last half day. How dare he, without me, being too shattered after 8 hours on asphalt and needing to get my feet up?

Lesley,

We just had a test between Australia and the West Indies...... it didn't even make it to the end of the third day.  Such a shame, as I think there will be a big drop off in ticket sales for the future tests unless the WI make some sort of major changes.  While I like to see Australia win, I prefer to see a good even match where the tussle is the fun of it, not a whitewash.

A personal "I'm so happy" at present..... I finished the last of my units for my Horticultural Study for this year and got results back...... I've now successfully completed my Certificate 3 in Horticulture.  Yeah!!!!!!  8)

Next year I'll continue on for the full Diploma (completed hopefully in 2011, part time), but at least I now can say I have completed the Certificate 3, which is what employers are wanting in general as a minimum.  ;D

It will be nice to finally have the piece of paper, even if that presentation will be about March or so.  ::)
