Valhalla for archaeologists? Probably pretty much like digging at West Hes in the late 70's - early 80's - much shovelling in the day and various activities of a more social (if not entirely legal, in some cases) nature in the evenings. The only improvement would have been showers more than once a fortnight and flush loos!

IT'S FRIDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!

Drinks for everyone! Even if it IS Saturday morning. I'll need one to brace myself for the day, a movie with the child. Yogi Bear. I feel ill.

LOL - how was Yogi Bear then? Bet you enjoyed it secretly.
Wet and windy here so a day for indoors before tomorrow - although I am not sure how much will be done on site in such grotty weather).
Now, do I carry on reading a novel, or do I do some serious reading (mixed in with a bit of translation too) or play catch up on the i-player? Decisions decisions...
(and meant to say earlier, thank you for adding the links to Past Horizins oin the Forum. Good idea - saves me trying to tremember it to read on line stuff. ALways have a porblem with this because, as it is on line I think I can keep it for later and never get round to it!))

I bought the sprog a mobile phone instead as he said his was 'too old'. True enough as it was a hand-me-down and he wanted something 'cool'. Therefore, I survived the day without a single breath of Jellystone Park. I'm waiting till later in the week when I get to see True Grit.
Quiet day today, Mike's sleeping off the effects of a pub lunch for his birthday and we're gearing up for the Time Team Drinking Game later. Hoping for a LOT of 'high status' as it's a bonus drink!

No, because they only showed one measly bead. I got upset and spent more time shouting at the tv than drinking. Bostiches. They should spend less time cooking bones and more time showing the bling.
Home today with a child who has a lovely stomach bug. Might start drinking shortly.

You could entertain the ill sprog by singing the Yogi Bear song! "I've got a friend that you might know, Yogi, Yogi, I've got a friend that you might know Yogi Yogi Bear! Yogi Yogi Bear, Yogi Yogi bear, I've got a friend that you might know, Yogi Yogi Bear. And then ad infinitum with verses about his various friends in Jellystone - and for more adult entertainment, sans sprog, we used to develop all sorts of verses about Yogi's various deviancies!! You can be as inventive as you like:I

You're a very sick man. We used to use the Flintstones song for that!
At the moment, the sprog is entertaining himself by shouting 'we're dooooooomed!' in a horrible pseudo-Scottish accent because I bought him a 'Dad's Army' DVD.

Is there a bar in the site hut? Or can this be it?
