The Big 5-0 in the South Pacific
Well it was quite a birthday this year. And if it has to be one that ends with a big zero, then today (this will only be published when we get WiFi again!) really was a pretty fine way to do it.Days on the catamaran with Janine and Ross start around 5am, but to make it…

Just a Quickie…
Hello beautiful people. Very weak WiFi signal here on Isle des Pins is made up for by how gorgeous it is here. So much so that it’s the only place we are spending a second night at, as we island hop. So for now just one pic before I upload the birthday and rest of…

And We’re Off..
On train heading back to Tokyo airport. The last bit of WiFi for a while possibly. Heading to Noumea, New Caledonia at last today. Where we will meet Janine and Ross for breakfast tomorrow and then pick up our catamaran. Here’s hoping for lots and lots and lots more of this pic at the top…

Up, Up and Away..

‘Oh What A Night’…
What a top night! Having decided ages ago to separate my lovely friends into different groups, so I could spend some decent time with each of them, this Saturday heralded the main big party – with my old Added Value chums. Incredible that having joined the company back in September 1996, here I now was…

A Lucky Escape…
So – drove down to not so sunny Margate today to see Mum and take her out for lunch. On the upside, when I asked her how old I was going to be this month, on this occasion she said rather uncertainly – 'thirty?' Which is better than a few weeks ago when it was…

Dinner at Dora
Made the most of the white space on Fri eve, with a long overdue catch up with Pam and Jude, and Jules and Nicky. Slightly mad to be entertaining the night before my big party but what the hey – warmed us up well for a weekend of top chums. Check out those jazz hands,…
