Just Discovered...

...Blogger Play. I think you go to www.play.blogger.com. This a screen that just shows you a slideshow of photos as they are added to their sites by people around the world. Its rather compelling. Of course there are a fair number of photos of people's dogs (nice if you like that sort of thing), a smattering of porn (again, nice if you like that sort of thing) but on the whole its a fascinating glimpse into the big wide world.

Had a phone conversation last night with my Eastbourne correspondent. The move is not going well. But the flat in Eastbourne sounds so nice that I'm sure it will all be worth it in the end. Even if it means living in Eastbourne!

Mother's birthday yesterday and I'm sure you all join me in wishing her Many Happy Returns. They went to a hotel in the middle of Wales somewhere last night with friends. I'm sure plenty of alcohol was consumed as no-one had to drive!

Secondment is proving fun so far although I think it will all kick off soon and he whole of the Department will hate me. Hey ho. You don't go into Tax Inspectoring to be popular...

No other news really. Sorry. J x

Greetings from Madeira. Belato Happia Birthado Jan.

Mark and I are sunning ourselves with the elderly of colder parts of Europe and staying in a rather pleasant beachfront hotel in our own suite! (swankarama).

We've picked up all the lingo; 'beacho tottinio' (hot guy on towel), 'foodo' a meal, 'drinko' - booze.

In fact all one has to do is add an 'o' or an '-arama' to the end of every other word and the locals know exaclty what you want.

They think its hilarious too.

Thank goodness for the global economy and the euro.
