I'm off to Austria for a week next week, so there might be a few days when I'm late or missing altogether, though I will catch up when I can :) I think the trip will be entirely in Vienna, but it *is* a whole week so I might get outside it once or twice.

"I bet they're conferring in there," said Theresa to no-one in particular, gazing around the room at the other tables.
"Yes, but we're doing the same thing, just less obviously," said Maureen. "Now shush, that stunted little judge is coming over to check we're not tampering with the board while our opponents cheat in the toilets."

Greg - ah, I've finally caught up enough to find out where you've been off to. Well, I hope you have a great trip!

Hah, yes, cheating all around. I do not envy the judges of this competition :)
