Lunch was enjoyed in The Clarendon, fortifying me for my 2nd and final bout of lecturing at the Institute of Bankers, where a captivated audience of 150 people or so hung on my every word regarding the concepts and conventions of accounting. Truthfully though, they were very participative and cooperative, with absolute no-one spending any time whatsoever on the naughty step!

Day 270 - Tuesday, September 27th, 2011
September's usual Indian Summer did not materialise - until today, when decent sunshine and blue skies were the order of the day. Lunch of Vegetable Soup and Spaghetti Meatballs was enjoyed in The Clarendon, with entertainment provided in reading form, by the "i" newspaper - a UK compact tabloid which costs only 30 cents (20p in the UK), and provides a fantastic summary of international news, entertainment, business, sport and puzzles. Try it if you reside on These Isles!

Day 250 - Wednesday, September 7th, 2011
Another blogging milestone - 250 days - and after flagging somewhat in the past couple of months I sense that I may be getting a 2nd (or 3rd/4th/5th) wind to bring me to the finish line that is a mere 115 days away! I have already decided that next year's blog will be a leaner, more direct affair - no harm, sez you.
Lunch was taken at the Clarendon for the first time in a while, and its soup and pepper chicken offering for a tenner (including tip) went down a treat.
Thursday Night Darts Club took place a day early this week, in its regular Doolan's haunt, but its taking place looked in danger until 7.15pm when the necessary 4th athlete arrived. Everyone is obviously saving themselves for the double-ranking event next Thursday, but all present tonight profited well, with Lara "Tryples" Della Volpe making a triumphant return to soar up the World Rankings from 15th to the crucial 12th position, which offers the final berth for the World Championships in December. After a slow start, Conch-Shell "The Conqueror" O'Keeffe ironically slowed his throw to reap his highest points dividend since April, whilst I pipped John "The Equaliser" Delaney by 2 points to lift my first title since May - great success!
