A quiet week

With the the weekend shot out and away we got on with the week. A maelstrom of things for me and a Diploma in Computing week for her.

With bigger global events playing out the the background. You get a "not in front of the children" feel for both Japan and Libya.  The 7th fleet got the hell out of there but citizens are told not to be within 50 miles if they are from the UK and USA, 20 if they are Japanese, and what on earth is happening in Libya is any ones guess but we are going for a no flying zone which will kick in after the event and involve the UK. Of course we had the very tools needed to enforce the zone, Ark Royal and Harrier.

Oh sorry we scrapped them so now will be "contributing" the Typhoon and this will operate out of Cyprus which will involve mega flights and major air to air refuelling.  I hope the whole enterprise will be in the private sector as otherwise we could not possibly afford it because we are cutting back on everything, oh hang on Libya has an oil field we will be there tomorrow....
