Grrrh - my heart etc has just done a HUGE flip.

My mad Yank mate in London - to escape certain happenings there [ he lives too near Stratford ] decided to cycle to Santiago de Compostela for his summer holiday - as of course you do

Well after a traumatic start where once he got down to Dover the technical stuff packed up on him , he returned to London , sorted out his technology and started again.

He's now in Pamplona - going nicely by looking at his tracker [ wonderful gadget that has worked superbly ] and I've just had a phone call from him !!

The phone was to be kept for dire emergencies - text messages could be sent at night daytime use was banned.

He'd phoned a contact in Pamplona only to be greeted by a long spiel in very fast Spanish - wasn't sure if this was an answering m/c or a phone problem - so rang me to find out if phone was working !!!

Men - I'm still recovering

Hi Oggy - nice to see that little bear again

Give it to Cyril - as a home for him and Cyrille and the future little ones

HOpe the nurses are nice young and dishy ones

The ROADWORKS !!

EAT IT

I should point out - that he probably has a multiple licence for this - to cover all his machines [ that's his normal practice ] and he's clearly never actually activated it on the machine that's with him - but it's probably on the External failed drive

Snag is - he has no Internet access at present - I got the message last night by SMS - also I'm not sure whether this is for Mac or PC - could be either as he uses both systems

A copy of Rescue Pro ?

This is urgent for a friend who has it - on his computer at home but is several thousand miles away at present and has an external HD fail.

If so - please would you PM me ?

Well - it looks as if we will have another day with some s..

Grandson up visiting/working

I now have a fence painted

the front garden weeded

some paths swept and cleaned of moss before the winter starts and they become under water again

Lots of rubbish to go to the tip this morning

Not just fingers - toes and everything else that will cross .

Hope you can get rid of that pain Tony
