Subject Drift ... an email entitled "Brakes Requirements" received turns out to be all about virus scans, and a "Twonky Apple" subject line is confirming receipt of our arrival in a former Yugoslavian republic that's now a part of the EU. Other emails in my box this Sunday night / Monday morning urge me to advertise in North Devon (
why?), fill me in on the political infighting at the local Federations of Small Businesses where - whatever the rights of wrongs - the focus of neither set of protagonists is on the members who they should be servicing any more. And then we have the "More Train Less Strain" folks in a strop about a 30p per mile train fare that we on the TransWilts line would be very happy to pay for a decent (correct time, reliable) service.
It's been a long day and I'll be posting this just into Monday morning. It's always a dreadfully long drive up to the Cambridge area; today to Stansted, and a 2 hour flight followed by half an hour in a taxi, arriving at a huge modern hotel that seems to be not at its busiest on a Sunday evening. "Free Wireless Internet" is a huge attraction, and of course I'm on line. So is Lisa with another computer, and she's also trying out the technology.
I've clicked off my first few pictures, but to be honest the view out of the room could be - so far - what you would see in any modern European big town.
Tomorrow I'll have a chance to explore. Judging by the several high, floodlit castles that our taxi driver passed on the motorway, we're in the heart of a fascinating country. Watch this space! And see how my subject has drifted from the start of this message - it must be the local beer ...
