Paint stain tip

If you have a stain on a wall or ceiling when you paper over it or paint it with emulsion you may find the stain will creep through to the newly decorated surface. The way to fix this is paint the area with one or two coats of gloss. This will seal the stain in and stop it ruining your newly decorated surface when you paint/paper it.

The picture that I should have sent...

You may remember me telling you about the poster that was to be printed with me on it. Well the posters of me and the others who got this honor are now being put up in Sun offices. I got three copies a couple of weeks ago and one of those was signed by Jonathan and Scott. That copy is now framed and is hanging up in my office. Meanwhile I realised I missed out on an idea. I had wanted my lab folks to be on the picture but that was not possible I was told. A way around this would have been to take a picture of them and superimpose it on the Raffles T-shirt as above. I am sure a better job of it would be done but you get the idea. The folks in the picture are all of the EMEA lab folks, the engineers from Germany, France and Sweden visited us last week. Sadly the folks who work for me in Singapore are not in picture - maybe one day will will all meet together in one group with their American peers.
