  • I arrived at Paderborn Lipstadt airport at 9.30 in the evening. Karl was waiting to drive me to the hotel Ibis in Paderborn. Despite waking at 3.30 a.m. I was still awake. We decied to have a beer before bed. Unfortunately, one beer turned into three. Then a couple of guys came into the bar. They had obviously been out on the town and were already quite drunk. We got talking and soon a few more beers had been consumed. Bad mistake. This morning I woke at 6.00 and felt really rough. I just wanted to stay in bed and sleep it off. No such luck. I have to work. I eventually got up at 7.15. A hot and cold shower went some way to sobering me up. Breakfast was minimalist to say the least. All I really wanted was accouple of soluble aspirin. I just hope my brain will start working before I get to work. I havetoo much to do to spend the day brain dead. It looks as if Karl is suffering too. No sign of him yet and it`s already 8.15


    This is writing using the writing recognition software on the iPAQ. It`s really quite good and fairly intuitive. It took a little while to work out what some letters were. But I managed in the end.
