I am sat watching my sons hurtle about on an ice covered dry ski slope (panic not - I am in the bar - not actually outside!) and you confront me with photos of unfeasibly hot temperatures and swimming.

I like to think perhaps he inspired others to do similar work at home here...however given that successive Governments haven't done much about the problem either I'm not sure where Sir Ed could have started.<BR/>Steve, I promise not to blather on about the weather again this week unless it snows here - then rest assured you will here about it!! And yes, that temp gauge is showing 36 degrees. Hope your MIL is doing better.The Sagittarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05513045101496737031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28571746.post-6933257519870714192008-01-12T21:40:00.000+13:002008-01-12T21:40:00.000+13:00Am saluting along with you... although in a less b...Am saluting along with you... although in a less balmy climate.

I know he did great things for Nepal- the hosptials etc.<BR/><BR/>A small voice inside my head says, "But yes, the Maori people of your homeland still beat, & sexually abuse their chidlren to death, but that is not seen by the world. You could perhaps have spent the money at home..?"<BR/><BR/>It is never as noticeable at home, as it is in another country, is it?<BR/><BR/>It is the same the world over.meggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00061112627819270427noreply@blogger.com
