Some girls have all the luck. Never mind, there's fun to be had in Blighty too. Putting the 'gin' in 'ginger ale' for instance. I should think Boothby excellent holiday reading material. If you pack nothing else this summer, pack a punch. (Packed punch? We all know the perils of impromptu P & J shows. Mr P. waving that stick about from under the curtains. It's enough to make a girl swoon.)
I hear that the Lancashire tourist board are giving away four thousand hols in Blackburn; prize winners to assemble in The Albert Hall...

Speaking of , I will certainly be packing my latest CD acquisitions; "Return to sender" & all that.
My favourite one at the moment is The Cranes, track 9 seems to be particularly relevant, listening to it even as we squeak! The title eludes me at the moment.
*wanders off to see if anyone has worked out the Enid Blyton Competition yet; organising all these entries takes time you know. first I have to beat them into submission with my big stick. Life is hard, but somehow we carry on, now there's a thought; oldie films....
for the comments folks; keep 'em coming, I can take it!

Hi boots!
NOT a sad cow at all, I still live in that world, as if you hadn't guessed! It's a happy little world, OK, escapism, but so bloody what!
Do try & find that Divine Comedy lot, I'd never heard of them, spim played me that track & I was suddenly transported into Enid Blyton world....there are more of us around than you'd think!
Off out into the "Real World" now, not looking forward to it but...we keep on keeping on *sigh*.
Take care, squeak soon,
