Does not compute
Here we go with the mother-related gripe of the day: this afternoon she went for a CT (computed tomography) scan, which, when she told me about it - only yesterday - in one of her blind panics (because she didn’t understand what it was), she told me she was worried about being "closed in, inside […]

airline rip-offs
Peter Harvey (Lavengro in Spain) has posted an interesting item about the abuses in charges for additional items on flights - particularly luggage. Well you can read the item and Peter’s translation of the salient points here.

Left - Right Conflict
Not easy at all, but I was interested to read the comment under the post from someone, for whom English was their second language, who said they didn’t have any trouble with it. Must see if I can find / make a Spanish version.

30 years ago …
Tuesday, June 24, 2008 | Permalink | 6 CommentsHere’s something I dug up during my recent moving process and lined up to be "digitized" (if not vaporized): photos of my wedding - 30 long years ago today, on June 24th, 1978 - to sometime soul DJ seen around the Galleon in Chertsey, Martin Heywood.
