Three minute blog

I've given myself till nine o' clock to post this so I've got two minutes left. Just spoken to Bud and he's had a good day. His interview went well so he's feeling positive - and it's looking more and more like he'll beat me back to Blighty. Bet you're dying to know what's brewing, heh? Well, sorry folks, even with my Olympic typing speed, I can't make the deadline unless I press 'publish' NOW. See ya....
