So much has happened since my last posting and I will do no more than apologise for my absence rather than try and fill-in all of the gaps.
I have been to London not to see the Queen but regularly for work and also for a little Olympic action, Scotland, Paris for birthday celebrations (of which I have a celebrated a real one - meaning that my birthday comes in the same year as Olympics!) and also to beautiful Sri Lanka. I am also spending a couple of weeks in US soon and am desperate to squeeze a weekend break to Venice before Christmas. I have decided that I like having no more than 4 weeks to look forward to a trip. Sri Lanka was 4 days.
Unfortunate, however, that I am in the midst of changing names on my passport which means that all of my stamps from previous 5 years are to be no more. Not only that, even for a mere name change, I have to fill-out yet another ridiculously confusing form, get chilly in a photo-booth (why are they always in particularly busy and public places?) and stump-up the princely sum of eighty-odd-quid. Speechless. Also passport-less at the moment. Best I get a wriggle on.
I have decided that at least once-a-week I will be revisiting my blog. It's the only way I shall ever get back into the good practice of publishing more than twice a year. I know, I should be shot.
Laters.
