That was a lucky escape

The maintenance end time was left set at 18:30 from the day before so when the backups finished this morning it was going to keep the site closed until this evening

Luckily I checked it before I went to a meeting this morning!

Raised on a farm ... always up early to milk the cows and goats, feed the chickens, etc. Can't stay in bed when I'm awake. It's come in useful in the past when up all night on some job or other. Can sleep anywhere too ... on a washing-line one of my oppos said once. Mind you, it's uneasy sleeping in a Chinook ... too bl00dy noisy! - Streaky

Which is sadder ... you being up before me, or taking a screen-shot? - Streaky
