December - Xmas Looms Large

Greetings from "sunny South Wales" and - for once - I mean it. The sodding rain seems to have gone at last and we're left with cool, crisp days for a change. I thought I'd never get dry again !

The photo is Tobermory on the Isle Of Mull - pleasant but typically dour and Scottish but still - for my American friends who've seen "Braveheart" - I guess this is your idea of Paradise.

Personally I prefer Italy but you can't win them all.

More will follow much later tonight but for now I fancy a curry and I intend to have one.

Hugs,

Incidentally my thanks to the people who helped me out with the "posting images problem" - much appreciated.
delMilano.

9 November 2009 - or 9/11 if you prefer.

Several weeks down the line and as you can plainly see one or two things have changed.
I now have a Dell laptop in my room so I can broadcast my perfectly reasonable and logical arguments to anyone I like anytime I like and that's exactly what I intend to do.

I've been travelling since I last published a post and I promise faithfully that I'll publish some photos shortly when I've assembed a collection of the best.

However, just to give you some idea I've been to Marseilles, Toulouse, Tobermoray, Glasgow, Berlin, Istanbul, Rotterdam and London in that order.

And just to prove there's no problem at all with my sense of humour here's a snapshot of me enjoying my (recent) 54th birthday :

104 Days

Yes - 104 days since I gave up drinking and - as you can see - it hasn't affected my sanity clause at all in fact I appear to be disappearing in this picture. Obviously I have substituted coca-cola and ice-lollies for booze (a clever choice you're thinking). More photos and an update will appear her shortly once I return from my tour of the mess they call a mezze in the middle-east they call Turkey because half of it's in Europe and half of it's in Asia. So it'll be colussus watching the hippopotamus (who smell of phosphorus) swimming in the Bosphorus in the sunshine.

Cosa Nostra - from the Opera "Chipshop & Bob"

This is the "family" as they're known in Downtown Cardiff. an unlikely bunch of hoodlums but all of them are deadly in their own way.

Some of you will recognise me of course - I'm El Padrone and people run away when they see me because they know I'm not really square and I don't go around in circles (like the others) and I take the piss out of Bernard Cornwell and his comic book heroes who are always falling down to their knees and crying then remembering their home in the town of Abertridwr and the vows that they made to theit fathers in the Vale Of Trawsfynnydd and the honour that they won in the battle of Gorseinon and it goes on like this for ever and ever......

Amen.
