The forecast is looking good for the forthcoming week.

I plan to be down there on Wednesday and Friday - anyone else having "time off"?

Jet lag and office crises (crisises?!) not withstanding, I may consider wed afternoon.

Alex,
How's Washington? Is it snowing?
The forecast for Wednesday is now 13mph (BBC) but 23 mph SW on Saturday (BBC again) so don't rush back!

Is it something I said or do I smell bad?

Went to Brog and had the lake to myself. Georgeous day 11 degrees and Force 3-4. Made sure I wore a life jacket.

The Guru raised himself from his sick bed and came to make me a cup of tea at 3pm. (I don't beleive that he only came down to the lake to get a cheque from me!!)

Tried out the new Apollo. Have posted Blog for those who might be interested (not many)

I'm planning Friday afternoon. I too got a bout of H5N1, caught off a person who sat next to me on a flight back from Paris a couple of weeks ago. I am just about disinfected, but I can't shout very loudly. See you soon perhaps.

Interesting stuff about the Apollo.

I didn't realise just how big it was until I saw the photo!

p.s. Watch out with that diet or you may find yourself in the 8.5m category.
