    Nice one, Alex. Sounds like you guys are having a great time and, most importantly for you, getting a chance to 'switch off' and recharge your batteries! Have you taken any pics? If so, it would be good to see them in the Abstract Gallery section

    As for the weather, so far it looks like being another nice day here, Sun's out and it's currently 19C

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Lots of pics, but mostly of the kids enjoying themselves, but will see what we have to post up when we get home. We have been constantly busy but yes, it is definitely “down time” as far as escaping from work and the stresses of the house move. Should be slightly cooler but still dry for the weekend. Off to Cromer tomorrow to the RNLI Museum and the pier. Diet will be needed when we get back!

    No worries, mate. Whatever pics you can manage would be great. I've constructed a nice 'wee exercise' for you to burn off the flab!

    If it's the one involving a sheep's back legs and a pair of wellies I'd give it a wide berth - English farmers are less tolerant of that sort of thing

    Monster rainstorm a couple of hours ago, the roads were like rivers. Sunny now but a bit breezy

    Was sunny, so I went out to the shop and it immediately started raining. Now sunny again, reasonably warm.

    Good guesses but all wrong, I went there for bog roll.

    Also fitted a new front door and painted the front of the house. Or at least some blokes did whilst I sat inside watching TV. Have done a bit of hoovering though.
