Well, Tuesday is over, sun still out and we have nearly finished the bunker site; great archaeology and super-human digging; find today include lots of wriggly tin and bits of gasmask, lots of rounds, shrapnel and an intact beer bottle. Also visited by those that did the Passchendaele march – both German and British. Dan has opened the site that will reveal the Australian Lewis gun position at the edge of the crater.

Hello to Rod if reading – only a stick grenade to entertain so far. Cranfield MSC have doubled the local demand for pink and yellow drinks.
_
Rob Janaway has arrived and is assisting Shirley and Androulla with finds conservation.
_
The Messines Test Match has taken place with Sue and Jo displaying hitherto unseen vicious streaks and Ant being shown up by the old-timer, his dad. Hello to Ruth and Katherine too.
_
Jacky Plateuw from the Menin Gate last post committee came over too, which was good and we had a visit from local TV so we will be all over the local news. We are also in the local paper, heaven help us!
_
We are both still on the anxiety dreams.

Johnny, hi! Still no Anzora…
