Blogosphere
Always a tense moment in Camp Chandler – the hard drive has been acting up ever since Paul put together a new pc for his dad, which involved much swapping of parts. So, everything has been re-installed. As I use Microsoft (ack! fooey! koff!) Frontpage 1976* to deftly craft this jibberish, we have to find…

TV
Good evening to everyone in the rain-sodden nation. At least there is a Wallace and Gromit retrospective on t.v. tonight. (7 p.m.) We’ve nearly recovered from Dr Who on Sunday, only to know that we’re going to be in bits again at Xmas.Hmm. Might have been last night.

Queen Mary 2
Anyone who knows me will realise how excited I become about visitors to the Forth. Click here for the Queen Mary 2, back to see us again after a five year absence. This picture (and 34 others) taken from the Forth Bridge around 11:30 a.m. Can I just say how different the Saturday train passengers…

Etiquette
Yet again I have to put out a plea to the world at large. If I am in your way, and I can’t see you, please just say “Excuse me”. I will happily shift. Do not stand there glaring at me in the hope that I will divine this by telepathy. And, never, never, ever…
