After a certain amount of use of the Anglo-Saxon vernacular I have managed to persuade Open Office to turn the spellchecker on.
Okay, it's the US Dictionary, but it's a start...

So you've to translate from German to English(UK) to English(US) and back again, checking for mistakes both ways.

Holy whatsits that was an assault on the ear drums 
I've only caught the end of their performance in a larger venue as the support act, but imagine the same volume in a smaller venue and with a support act doing something similar. No wonder more than a few people opted for the free foam ear plugs.
Not a bad trip up here to York other than the train being overcrowded due to a fault resulting in it being only 5 carriages instead of 10. Glad I got to my reserved seat before they announced that it was a free for all on seating.
A hot chocolate has been had on return to the hotel along with a much needed snack and next is a beer.

It's been a sunny but slightly parky day here chez Casa Reynard.
Slept well. Downstairs, fed the cat, and settled down to a seat by the fire and a day's televisual motorsports. Not done much in the way of stuff other than cleaning the grate and scooping the tray.
Washing up has been postponed till tomorrow on account of having run out of washing up liquid. I was convinced I still had at least one bottle in my store. Evidently not. Will have to rectify that tomorrow.
Food has been of the raid-the-fridge kind.
Currently watching MOTD as it's half time in the 49ers v Seahawks game.
