Greetings!
I would like to recommend some related blogsites to you...
Alexander, my son, has one at alexvw.blogspot.com.
Sophie, my daughter, has one at sophiwophi.blogspot.com
Richard, my English friend, has one at dormandy.co.uk/blogspot, and as he is currently on a musical odyssey thru the Americas, you will find the photos, the MP3 clips and the commentary very interesting.
He is currently snorkelling in Cuba with his wife, Ruth, who has met up with him for a few days.
Here in Ak the weather has been beautiful - sunshine, blue sky, still weather.
Household/yard chores till lunch, a walk "round the bays" (Manukau that is) after lunch, then out to a cafe with Lois and Sophie (we paid for our own coffees and nibbles - do NOT call tis Dutch treat, okay?).
Back home to fireplace, martinis, Boston Legal and Black Books.
Last night I went out to Galbraith's, a "tavern" in town (top of Mt Eden Rd) and caught up with Alan Papprill, an ex-colleague from Otahuhu (he also has a blog on venture2doha.blogspot.com).
Peter, Rosemary and Malcolm were also there - my first time at Galbraith's - a highly convivial venue.
They brew their own ales on site, and I tried out a "Bitter and Twisted" - tasty!
Still feeling very good indeed.
