Glad you guys are having a great time. How were the queues in Disneyland? One of my worst nightmares is standing in a long queue in the blistering heat!:eek::nono:Quote:

I know how you feel. Way back in the summer of 1989 a friend of mine and I had to queue for at least an hour to get in to the Grand Palais (or it might have been the Petit Palais) in Paris to view the Gauguin exhibition. Fortunately there was a a van selling cold drinks parked nearby, so one of us would toddle off to buy drinks, whilst the other would keep our place in the queue. Having a good book to read helped, and the temperature was nowhere near as hot as it is now.Quote:

No doubt the cold drinks van man was chucking the exhibition staff a few Francs to 'go slow' :)Quote:

I made it up to Del by taking her to Maxims for dinner:)
33°C now and rising...

Ah, sciatica, I had that exact thing for about 20 years - when walking or standing I'd have to sit down every few minutes while it "re-set" itself. Then a few years ago it just went away for no particular reason. So don't lose hope, the same thing might happen with your back :)Quote:
