thanks, cf, those are great pics and I LOVE seeing pics of other lands. It's amazing how much the weather there is like the weather here in Ohio!

I only got to see the invisible jew - sorry a bit slow on the responses - so far as running goes, my gift from Kazakhstan is taking quite a while to run its course (and in fact I've had a few shifting shapes myself the past few days!)

All is well that ends well.
Perhaps you should try and get a wondering jew instead of an invisible one..

Sorry to hear you drank the water, cf.
We appreciate you suffering to bring us your wonderful pictures. Suffering for your art, so to speak.

Thanks Bruce, but 'suffering for my art'? - was that a mistype (even though the 's' is a little distance from the 't')?

Thanks CF - a place I'm pretty sure I'll never go and was fascinated to see.
Lordy lord, those Beatles get around don't they? |

The legend travels, as they say, SG - BTW, same people ran this course as did the one in London last year when we met up.
Just had the results of my tests today - nasty campilobacter - same little bugger that I caught in Lanzarote last year - now on antibiotics (thank God!). Not at all pleased with my doctor's practice - they knew last Thursday it turns out, yet in spite of my phoning them Friday morning AND seeing a doctor Friday afternoon, I was told at the time that the results were not in, and so I suffered another weekend of problems when I didn't need to - what on earth has happend to the good old days when it was the patient that was at the top of the agenda - now it seems it is too much about cost of drugs and avoiding prescribing them whenever they can get away with it on the one hand, and over-the-top salaries on the other which are totally out of sync with the level of service and hours that GPs now put in - pathetic!

That sucks CF. Makes a bit of a joke of the huge pay rise GP's were demanding.

UNfortunately everywhere we look the public services are in chaos - too many misguided targets skewing the services, money that is assigned used for the wrong purposes and generally bad managment practices. We can debate it all day long, but this govt isn't going to take anything on board - maybe the next one will otherwise we will end up being more third world than the thrd world countries themselves.

Squeaky wheels distracting the powers that be, from the silent majority?

More like we were targetted to reduce costs on wheels by 25%, so we removed one and then found that it didn't go so well with 3 wheels, but what the hell, we met our wheel target!
