Just looked at the diary. Going to be a bit busy this month, National Ploughing, Heavy Mare show at Listoon, France, England. Going to have to curtail the frolics in Lisbon as I'll have to get home for a couple of days to cut the grass etc. How long are folk planning to stay at Lisbon?

I know John. The memory of having to get up five days each week, and go to make money for someone else, still haunts me. I never thought like that through all the 50 years of my working life, just the last 49.The saddest thing is, I used to get two days off each week, now I don't get any! Woe is me.

By the way, never saw Stena nor Irish Ferries at the show and they weren't on the exhibitor list. After around ten hours of exhibition we had had enough. Looks like we made the right choice of leaving on Thursday. Never got bogged in. Dave if you see this, can you take a pic of the exit area for me.
