Fancy A Day Trip?

From Monday 19th March 2007, the new summer network of "Scottish Express" services will be introduced by Fishers Tours of Dundee. This set of bus routes is designed to allow passengers to have a day trip from Dundee and the surrounds, to one of many different areas. The network has been expanded on last year, following such popularity.

Wide Awake And Weird

So how was my day at work? I was getting tired at the start of my shift - yawning every 5 seconds, just like yesterday! At my first break (1600), I went outside in the "fresh air"... and it seemed to work, because I stayed relatively awake until home time! I was sat in with the "email team" once more today...

... oh, and I did post a video link to YouTube earlier on, but the video has been cut. Shame. If I find another similar link, I shall post it here a bit quicker next time...
