Doesn't sound potable anyway.

This is where I'll be Friday for two weeks: http://lameva.barcelona.cat/merce/en/

Can be an expensive business.

Will be away for two weeks but bed and board is paid for and I already have a wad of funny money.

A friend who lives in Australia took her new camera to the race. She was positioned just on the first bend. Heard them coming and only wreckage came into the viewfinder. So amazed she forgot to press the button.

I held my fire on buying Euros and it has paid off. I already had some in hand but needed to top up for a trip to Spain on Friday. Got a Tourist Rate of 1.116 delivered (ASDA £752.69). Not overwhelming riches but certainly better than the rate of 1.05 at which it was trading a week or so ago. TOP TIP: The Money Part of ASDA's site is, according to my Mac, subject to pfishing. I used the telephone to Head Office.

Well made but much too tidy. I'll give it one week before you have trouble finding it!

Thanks Andy.

Where did you park, Andy?

Slow Worms rescued on the stream bank prior to it being strimmed tomorrow. Only six young ones but I've done my best.

Flights used to be an exciting part of any trip. Now they are dreaded. The faffing about at each end, the scrunched up seating, the smell, fellow passengers, the cons, the often filthy airports, the damaged luggage, the walks from remote slots, the absence of information when (not if) things go wrong .... takes breath ..... the profiteering car parking, the meals (oh lord the meals) which I stopped eating twenty years ago (how can every meal smell like stale fried eggs?), the 'security' nightmares (why have you got a bottle of water, you terrorist?), the cancellations, the queues, the kids, ..... I hate it all. Found a 'bargain' flight to Crete this year (not Ryanair). Two days before (similar to as mentioned above) they emailed to say that we had been transferred to a later flight - leaving at midnight instead of during the day. Coming back a day after we'd booked at an equally stupid time. Investigation proved that there never had been an earlier flight and it cost the conning crooks. Going to Catalonia next Friday for a couple of weeks. Driving to Portsmouth and then an express coach with "Prestige" seats and tables. Did I mention that I hate airports?

Interesting picture. No idea but will check back to see if the answer comes up.

... and make sure your chair is still there when you sit down.

Not sure what is going on in the London Underground. Doesn't look good but no proper information yet.

Some computer firms take part exchange. Not sure they'd accept SWMBOs though. I'm sure there are places which will, say, transfer the HD content to disc for you to use in another set up.

Pass.

Would look better with Rails on the sides.

Look forward to the pictures of your late Grandmother.

Following the weather during the night the power went off for an hour or two. I went out so it didn't matter to me. However, it seemed to cause some problem with the ironing.

Only two likes for Sophia Loren (and one of those is mine)? That's a real scandal. Either that or a coach party to Specsavers is required.

My version is much shorter for telephone purposes: "There's something wrong with the car. Come and sort it".

I chuckled when a fellow on Llangollen platform, wreathed in smoke and steam and that smokey oil perfume we all love was told to put his cigarette out.

What language is this please?

Isn't that the Hunchback of Notre Dame?

It must be an up market bike. Most don't seem to come with brakes. Hope all turns out OK.
