Quite a day for Londoners yesterday. The coverage ranged from ITV’s tell-us-what-you-felt-like-when-the-bomb-ripped-through-your-carriage to BBC’s “fair and balanced” without-wanting-to-speculate-about-the-motives-of-the-bombers,-which-muslim-extremists-do-you-blame? I initially thought that Tavistock Square was in Tavistock in Devon, which unsettled me a lot. Anyroad, me thoughts are with the deafened London masses and I’m v. glad we didn’t get caught up in it all. I couldn’t get through to Bert’s mobile, but his Dad says he’s fine…

We’re off to Brecon where I doubt there’ll be much blogging action, then Ashton Court Festival next weekend. So there’ll be a bumper crop of photos to slog through once we get back.

Judith & Arturo, if you’re reading this, I got your emails and am glad to hear things are going fine at PAPAS “so far”. Sounds like what needed doing’s been done and things are on the right track. Aguanten! I hope they get the ABC person in before Anna leaves for the North, she could write a 500 page manual on the place…

I’m booking tickets to Prague this morning with Sita, Beth and Ali. One possibility is a Boatel (Boat + Hotel= Boatel) sounds better than a Hoat. It’ll be the first time in a while that I go somewhere I don’t speak the language, but I have 13 days to become fluent in Czech. Otra cerveza por favor, probably won’t quite cut it there. Cheers y’all. Take care out there
