Thanks Allan - I think you're right. He's had changes over the past year or so. He was in East Timor for six months and then back home just before Xmas 2008. He then left the army in May - something he was ready for but as you say a huge adjustment. He badly needed a break and some time to rethink his future. |

Hey I'm not miserable - mind you our New Year's eve and New Year's day were very quiet. As my himself would say "wet ar** and no fish. My e-mail facility has got a glitch so OH was trying to reinstate that after I had done two posts on here yesterday. Still not right won't open - so we will be at the PC place on Tuesday when it reopens. |

I am hoping she has got some medication to take for these god awful cramps. It is not like her - as she pops in at all sorts of times and apart from that short note of H N Y s we have not heard from her. |

That reminds me Allan - of years ago my youngest and I went to our Winter Gardens to see an outdoor play - of Helen of Troy - and the audience sat on one side of the pond with lillies etc and the play made use of the statutes and urns etc on the other side and Helen and Paris were meeting and dusk was descending on us and it was all very serious and then ribbit ribbit... |

Did you really see our sky tower Tec - it was a massive undertaking - they had rockets stuck all around it etc in readiness for five minutes of sparklies. All that money up in smoke - but I guess I am not meant to worry about the economics of it all. The Russians put on a very good display. |

It is a casino - has a theatre - and goodness only knows why the built it - think they were trying to go one better than the Yanks. It is of course a tourist attraction - costs you to go to the top in the elevator and walk around on the glass floor, and of course one of our favourite sports bungy jumping - Billy Connelly had to have a go as well - at least he kept his clothes on for that one. He didn't when he went off one of our bridges... |
