Greetings from Coleraine, Northern Ireland

Monday, February 11, 2013 by TomRichter | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Hi folks, being sending you a pile of hugs from Norther Ireland where I am to stay almost for a month for the biz. Although after 14 days I am going home for a week and than back, so it is bearable. Or has to. As you know Magdalene (wife) gave birth to Mathew 6 wks ago plus minus so it will be more difficult for her to look after two kids daily, but she does not have a plenty of choices, right? That makes me unhappy but sometimes we are forced to take the things as they are.

I would like to type something like how beautiful the town, where I am being settled, is but honestly I do not know. I was travelling all Sunday long and having a terrible fever 39.6C. Not sure what is that in Fahrenheit, but I guess it might be 102 or 103. So I did not remember too much about travelling. I was like being hit by a train or something. But today it seems a bit better. Just woke up and the first thing on the internet was to see WC.

This way I would like to thank all the guys downloading the CONSTRUCT. Your support is really remarkable. As for the ProtonX, it will need some time before it is done. During my biz trip I won't be working on it as I will have a lot of duties to do. But nobody is in hurry, right?

 

If you want to, just drop a word or two, it will make me happy, especially under the circumstances.

 

Many many thanks, folks

 

Yours

Tom

Sounds like the flu, Tom. If you're more than 48-72 hours into it, Tamiflu won't help. Maybe see a Doctor? [revolutionary idea, eh?].

Greetings Tom from America. I'm relieved to hear that your fever has passed and you are improving. That is a good omen. I'm a bit envious that you get to be in Ireland. My parents once toured Europe and spent some time there. The pictures they brought back were breathtaking to say the least. Keep everything in perspective Tom and cherish this time as one of lifes memorable experiences. Have a great adventure my friend , and maybe visit one of the local pubs for some socializing.   Have Fun and be safe.              -- Ace --

I hope you are feeling better and can enjoy your trip, even if it is work related. At least you get a change of scenery for awhile and get paid to see it. That can't be all bad. Stay safe and get healthy.

Nice to hear you´re getting better.

39,6 huh ? We measure same in Sweden so I KNOW that must have been.....real !

Proton X´s lookin´good & sometimes it´s just good for the Blind to "Mature" for a while.

Take care in humid Ireland & don´t work too much now !

You don't need to be envious, mate. Or shall I say lad? They use this "lad" word very often  as I can hear. In this seasson the weather is very changeable. 5 mins sunshine another 5 mins raining cats and dogs or something worse. But if I put all my pieces together and will feel better I will check this all out for sure

I know, it is just... I feel like being shot. The optimistic mood is gone. But having some pills with me, so I will be hoping it will turn out well soon

Oh man, really? But if I feel better, will that last for some time. Just worried that upon visiting a pub I might be crashed again. For another reason but anyway?

Glad you're feeling better now Tom. Enjoy your time in Ireland as much as you can. I know when I was there traveling all over it was absolutely breathtaking. Super friendly people, and talk about a clean country! No matter where you went you did not see trash all over the ground like here in the US, you didn't see garbage and trash anywhere. We have nothing but lazy slobs and pigs here in that regard. Even if they had a party at a local bar (pub), or were enjoying a soccer (football) match and things got a little messy outside, it was all cleaned up by 9AM! Love the Irish people!

Hey Tom....have fun in Northern Ireland but watch out for rainbows.....that bucket of gold at the other end may get heavy and you'll need us to come help you carry it home. Be well.

Thank you Tom. From that perspective we have the same kind of people in Czech Republic too and does not matter where are you. E.g. I was with my older son in the playground which is situated in the middle of our public park. As that is a centre of various types especially in the night you can be strumbbling over broken bottles, trash or and I was pretty shocked to see that in the playground you can see syringe.

 

I am wise enough to know what is necessary but my son is not with other kids of his age...

Its like that in many places not just there Tom. An unfortunate reality. But...............there's this silver thingy in a dark cloud covered in happy faces and one of them has your name on it. And high up top is a big 'ole sign with light blue text flashing like disco balls and to the left is Wicky doing his version of John Travolta dancing to the Bee Gee's Staying alive. The WC!
