It is Thursday 28th August 2008. It is Jan's 25th birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAN!

It is now 5.oo pm in Berlin so I calculate it is 9.00 am in New York. He will have landed late last night and either still be sleeping at Norman's flat with the others, or be groping his way into the kitchen and fridge to see what is for breakfast. Try a burger and beer Jan - it's your birthday and great for wind!

Talking of which. On his recent visit he had to use my toilet and opening the window and using fresh air spray didn't help much - as you can see from the photo. Even the mice came out of the room waving a white flag!! Happy Birthday in New York, Stinker!
