Bad night's sleep: Peter kept stealing all the sheets. Heading back north. Thanks Nun and Peter for a great day out yesterday.
Likewise! ...though I think the live-blog is over now...

Oh, it is, I just like to get the last word in.

Oops. Outstayed our welcome: kicking out time!
Back at the museum drinking mulled wine. Just asked a snail expert why there aren't any in my garden. Wrong type of snails apparently.
You should sell that excuse to the rail companies.

Just when you thought things couldn't get more exciting, we are heading BACK to the museum! Yay!
Who has a hidden stash of alcohol, then?

Richard doesn't like cats. I thought you should know, Bob. He says it's not a fear but rather more a hatred.
Well, I guess nobody's perfect.

Peter wants to know: Bob, are you doing this from Helsinki?
I am. We have a very good supermarket here (even if teh name is KKK).
- Bob O'Hara
Karen is experiencing difficulty understanding my English accent. For 'Buffy' read 'bothay' throughout.
Okay, dinner's over, Bill has joined us, we're on our second bottle of organic Malbec.
I'm still on my first beer. Fuller's Discovery.
- Bob O'Hara
Dinner (and wine) is served. Back later.
*shakes fist at successful attempt to get my money off me*
