Evening Bloggers,
Felt we might be in need of a little Calamity Jane to redress the balance away from Deliverance and repetitive Banjo players (and to be perfectly honest Burt Reynolds was asking for it!).
Have been downloading a few musicals to sing along to as we trudge over the final mountains on the overnight stage of our Monster hike. Delighted that Philip and Debbie may be joining us as support team and they are quite prepared to administer to the Monster team at all hours of the day and night with Gin and hot chocolates, irn-bru and fresh pyjamas.
G has had a good day today but feels pretty tired (he describes it like your worst jet lag and then some). He has got a lovely view from his room in the hospital looking over the city. You can see the castle and the Pentland Hills so at least he has something inspiring to look at while he is inside. The skype seems to be working really well and it is great for the kids to have a chat with Dad and it helps G not to feel too cut off in his solitary confinement.
Did a good monster training hike today, walking from the hospital through the park and along the Water of Leith down to the dockland area of the city. It was a beautiful day and although you are right in the middle of the city, the walk is beside a river and surrounded by trees so it feels quite rural. Small bit of excitment when I came face to face with 4 large Rottweliers that were big enought to look you straight in the eye....The owner was shouting something ineffective at them and assured me they were just boistrous puppies (hmm...now I was a little worried as he had on a checked shirt, clearly hadn't been to a decent dentist for a while ....but couldn't see a bango so I quickened my pace in the opposite direction, just to be on the safe side, when 3 guys in a Canadian canoe on the river shouted to me about directions to the nearest camp site). Strangely enough I made my best walking time today and covered 10 miles in just over 2 hours.
Just tucked the kids up in bed and I'm off to watch the West Wing.
Have a good night.

I will be the bodyrubs of the sore bits which might get the eyebrows raised after a 30 mile bike run, not sleeping could be a bonus to avoid the nightmares.

Hi Gerry, after some time I could catch up with your blogs again. There are now a bit more than 2 weeks of intensive C&C meetings behind and I can start to think about and work on other things again. Last week we finished the FY in Pu3 with the highest lamination volume which we ever had in Putz. This was worth a small party for the manufacturing guys. Now we are prepared for another exciting fiscal year, curious about the products and volumes which we shall make. And: we have still fun with the forecast numbers as you can imagine. Take care & best regards from Anton
Glad to hear the year ended well, it usually takes about one or two years for the benefits of all the changes to settle down so I hope you will see more and this will help with the fun on the FC, If you are in UK over the summer let me know!
Gerry
