I must therefore decline you kind offer of "syndication", but thank you for stopping by and taking the time to comment. <BR/><BR/>Regards<BR/><BR/>Dr JDoctor Jesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14446967855995345815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16638275.post-11328882445965013202008-09-11T11:03:00.000+01:002008-09-11T11:03:00.000+01:00I think your blog is great, and I would like to fe...I think your blog is great, and I would like to feature you on the new Wellsphere.

As for the eldest I have done nothing to steer him either way. i firmly believe to be anywhere near half decent as a "a carer" of any sort you have to be called to it, but I fear that the lure of Zach Braff may already have hooked him as surely as that bugger Alan Alda did me... <BR/><BR/>mads'-- Welcome, and I can call you mads' yes? Quite right Corfu would seem to be the very epitome of civilization with French architecture, Greek climate, and eleven cricket teams (with but one pitch to play on). It's definitely on our list of top ten places to go back to.<BR/><BR/>madam chair'-- as you say Venice is a sight to behold, but also quite literally alive with mozzies as we too can attest. Still top of our "places to revisit" list though. Eight hours doesn't even scratch the surface (no pun intended-- for once).<BR/><BR/>northernmedic-- welcome. Indeed the boy done good, and yes it would appear he is "called" to medicine, and whilst I will support and encourage all I can, I'm happy he's found it for himself without any urging from either parent. As I said above I strongly suspect Zach Braff has a lot to answer for... <BR/><BR/>elaine-- *blushing* oh give over... but many thanks for those kind words. And you're right about the reference of course. Tuneful they might not have been, but the 'Rats made damn fine Pogo music... (as they say otherwhere though YMMV).<BR/><BR/>orchidea-- Dubrovnik is an odd place. The reconstruction has left it pristine (barring a few gouges in the odd monastary wall from the mortar bombs' shrapnel), but a bit soul-less IMO. More movie set than living breathing city, but maybe it has been tainted by Venice being the immediate next port of call...<BR/><BR/>So now I have to add Bastia <B>and</B> Stein am Rhein to "the list". Perhaps if I retire tomorrow.....Doctor Jesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14446967855995345815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16638275.post-70972917599139445312008-09-03T10:59:00.000+01:002008-09-03T10:59:00.000+01:00Ouch!Dubrovnik is on my road-trip list and has bee...Ouch!<BR/><BR/>Dubrovnik is on my road-trip list and has been for a while.
