Monday 24th September.

78 days to go.

0730 start. Fire up the computer and still NO INTERNET. Start working. Squeeky, Plunger and Spud Cod arrive and Squeeky is not well. Something he ate is not agreeing with him. He lasts out the morning and he gets dropped off at the Prison for a quick rest. It is the first day of 2 weeks worth of courses he is here to present.

Again we have some rain, still it keeps the temperature down.

We head out for lunch and to pick up some shopping. Over lunch we find out that Plunger was propositioned at the bar of the Church last night.

Apparently he went up to buy his round, as he is ordering a local girl approached him and introduced herself. She asked where he was staying and if he was lonley and would like some company. He declined the offer, well he told us he did anyway.

After lunch I finally get a very very slow internet connection. I find out that Newcastle actually beat West Ham, something I was not expecting after losing to Derby last week. Squeeky turns up and gets through the afternoon. That was a major effort, the boy done good. I take the 3 back to the Prison. Go back to work and finish off what I was doing. Then a quiet night in. Back to the grind tomorrow.
