I see you had the pool emptied again.

I was waiting for that comment from you Veritas! Well, just for you to show I'm not always alone...

Funnily enough although the weather was gorgeous throughout December and January wherever I went, and most of the pools were heated, very few seemed to take advantage and swim.

Holiday snaps - mostly of plates of food!

Widely available, in every British town and home.

Indeed Bernie and I suggest you go and examine them instead of wasting your time coming here.

Thank you JK, I will; thank you for your helpful advice.

But what is your reason for 'wasting your time coming here' ?

Every day...

Entertaining people and informing them.

What was the highlight of your holiday JK? The food looks nice but I always worry about ordering something I won't like when abroad!

I really like people's holiday snaps.

I think my main holiday pleasure this year was the weather - fantastic sunshine virtually every day; I was very lucky, missing rain and storms by a day everywhere I went. Secondly my editing the music videos for the new film; having learned Final Cut Pro and devoting five or six hours a day to it. Thirdly my swimming; it makes me feel great and very relaxed. Fourth - some really delicious food in both Morocco and France. Fifth - friends - I have many from all over the world (a Moroccan friend who has lived and worked in London for 40 years now has a place there too). Sixth - my Slingbox (enabling me to watch UK TV wherever I am). Seventh - reading - as you have seen, John Le Carre, Stephen King, Aldous Huxley, Gerald Seymour - my word companions - plus the daily UK papers now, thanks to printing abroad, available everywhere. Eighth - losing my audio book virginity to my friend Stephen Fry and his superb The Liar. Ninth - driving and culture and seeing the sights of cities like Fes, Volubilis, El Jadida, all kinds of other places. Tenth - contact with people through the good old Internet. Will that do for a start?

Yes - that will do . So much to see and do when you are away - fresh sights, people and tastes.

I just wish I was not so bad on the plane - I see others sitting and enjoying a movie or eating snacks and theres me crunched up and feeling terrible. I would love to see Australia but I don't think I could survive the journey.

On the subject of travel, how's the Roller doing? Must be getting her ready for some spring time travel to the French Riviera?
