Over & Out....A Month's Struggle Over... :-)
The clock struck 12:00 on Friday 30th and the Month came to a close...The celebrated down-down at the DNH (Dutch Nash Hash) venue was a little muted as most Hashers were well on their way to normal Friday night oblivion..
The day started tamely with a wander around the Hague for a few hours taking in the sights (mostly debris from the previous night's party), a few drinks (coffee and tomato juice for me..) and finally off by car to the DNH venue...found some NABs that Neptunus had kindly put aside for me but had them promptly confiscated by BlackUdder and CSM as apparently they had traces of alcohol in them...a shame as I'm sure they tasted better than the real beer on offer...
What followed; A pub crawl without a pub....beer stops without beer (well eventually..)and a trail through the woods that would have tested even the greatest hasher...W&R lost her glasses on trail..cunningly left in the loos...CSM handing out goodies for the unsuspecting Hashers..a few notable casualties...
Dragged my sorry ar*e into bed at about 4:30 and woke 5 minutes before the 20.5k trail started at 11:00 on Saturday with a full month's hangover...never again (well until Saturday's party anyway...)
Signing out now for the duration until the next stupid thing I agree to...Many thanks to all of you that have followed my exploits in this Blog and especially those of you that have kindly pledged ££$$ to the Charity...BlackUdder will be chasing you all for the Cash and we'll post the final total of collections soon...

Day 30...Final Stretch...Queen's Day - Hague - DNH
Morning all...sitting now in a Hasher's pad, Virgin's Dream in the Hague after a 'heavy' (for some)night..Red Dress Run followed by a disjointed circle (bring back CSM all is forgiven) and off to the ONInn for more Beer...found a local NAB called Amstel MALT... less than 0.1% Alcohol..W&R told me that this was the stuff she got fed as a child..very strange retro stuff..Weather was pleasant but has changed for the worse..
Neptunus appeared late after trashing his car, buying a new one and trying desperately to get beer to the DNH venue...I don't care as long as there's beer by midnight..
Quick shower, off to get some breakfast to repare for the final stretch...a long Month but enjoyable in a strange way...
ONON to a Not so sober TT (ther clock's ticking...only 14 hours and 15 minutes to go...)

Day 28 & 29 ..Wednesday & Thursday ...DNH Prelube
Wednesday was a bit of a non-event...work...r*n...cooking dinner (it has been noted by W&R that I've done more chef-stuff since I've been off the pop..)..watching the 'Special One's' Italian Nancy boys put up a 'San Siro Wall' to keep out the baying Catalan Grease Monkeys (all Mediterranean footballers have long, girl-like, slicked-back barnets)...ONON to the proper German foot-soldiers of FC Bayern...
Early (12:00) to bed as I haven't packed (W&R is all done, typical Girl..) and things to do including this double header..For the next Blog (Monday) will be a hazy round-up of the booze-filled weekend...ZZZZ
Up early to get a few things work things done before heading off to Holland (DutchNashHash)...Decided on a cheap(er) flight via EastJet from Basel...probably a bad move..Got a Red Dress R*n tonight...chance to show off my new costume.. Good luck to Haggi and the ZH3 crew who are holding the first Thursday Hash tonight..
ONON till Monday ( a still sober) TT

Day 27...B.i.T.CH
Ongoing email issues resolved for now...looks like I've been under Cyber-attack from multiple fronts...this final stretch is tough and I'm getting grouchy...
Really great evening weather for the B.i.T.CH R*n last night...FishF*cks showed setting a Live Trail can work (note MS) and we had a very enjoyable 10k in and about Altstetten....great to see Africa as an FRB...
Back to the ONInn and they had no cold NABs..didn't fancy water so I slopped-off..Mr. Grumpy...Had a pizza in Kusnacht and watched my team, FC Bayern whip the weak-wristed, garlic boys from Lyon...Hope they get 'The Special One' in the final and kick him where it hurts straight back to Setúbal (that's in Portugal, I looked it up :-))...
Checked some mails; J.Joe fighting the vagaries of the MeetUp site and my French (them again..) work colleagues f*cking up yet another project...time to get the large 'shoeing' stick out...I don't believe in the carrot approach...
Off for some ZZs about midnight..

Day 25...Sunday...The Final Weekend...
The day's not over yet but drawing to a close...Up and about early watching some politics cr*p on TV..W&R says my hearing is impaired...The TV wakes her up...she says it's time to book an appointment with the ear doc...probably right..
Over to CSM's and BU's for brunch... A little late...kids and ginies everywhere...a great spread...everyone's tucking into champers and wine..I'm on orange juice and coffee...Black Banana decides that ridding her bike is not a good move..CSM snoozing on the sofa by 3:00...time to split..
W&R in the garden...Livio asleep...it's hard being a teenager (must be fun)...decide to test the knee with a bit of up...1.5 hours later and I struggle back from a r*n...hashing is definitely a better bet...light supper...onward to the final week...
