01.30 am, drove past the local Walkabout and could see the bar staff. Never a good sign! I didn't do too bad but as now seems to be the norm, I got more work off the datahead than from the rank.

Had a really really good night












went out 8 other family members to a Nepaliese (Nepali?) "Gurkha" restaurant for a birthday meal, and cut the cake with a rather big and sharp kukri

Yup Saturday not bad. In the PH and it normally dies about 02.00 for PH. Hacks go on past that. There is some PH work apparently between 04.00 and 06.00 when the clubs in the next town finish but it is messy then.

In New Romney, we had a good Friday during the day plus some "disyance" evening work, but local stuff, nothing! Saturday totally DEAD! A couple of local fares around closing time (2330) and that's all. today a couple of local fares, not worth starting the car for!
