And even with all that has been sent to try you, you found time to pick up that camera and take that beautiful photo. Thank you.<BR/>Also I really hope your son gets better too and makes that all important, and long awaited trip.

Glad to hear Son of Signs is showing a hint of improvement.<BR/><BR/>As for the snow, I was delighted to discover that even in London, even in April, it is still possible to catch snowflakes on the tongue.But Why?https://www.blogger.com/profile/18410865104797473854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6432201290620111119.post-26101634425015392622008-04-07T08:50:00.000+00:002008-04-07T08:50:00.000+00:00Hi Nicola, if I could ask you to hold your breath ...Hi <B>Nicola</B>, if I could ask you to hold your breath just a little longer - while he turns. Thank you.<BR/><BR/><B>Collin</B>, absolutely! Good to see another Doctorx-lover (and I mean only Him, not GPs or hospital consultants, useful though they are).<BR/><BR/><B>Minx</B>, you have worried me now. Everyone in the whole universe knows where the village of Tesco Express is. Do they like pork? As long as it's up for extermination - oh no, that's Daleks. I don't think a joint of pork can be transformed into a cyberthing. So I'll be ok. Any anyway, I have absolute faith in The Doctor.Reading the Signshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06338983880105866139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6432201290620111119.post-85617181037757333992008-04-07T06:23:00.000+00:002008-04-07T06:23:00.000+00:00Do Cybermen like pork and do they know where the v...Do Cybermen like pork and do they know where the village of Tesco Express is?<BR/>I hope not - they kept me prisoner behind the sofa on a number of occasions.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03665385782194826703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6432201290620111119.post-36424612170830551532008-04-06T22:49:00.000+00:002008-04-06T22:49:00.000+00:00Just watched the new Doctor.

But the quality of light that is here now, and belongs to this time of year, does make it feel, somehow, <I>wrong</I>. On the other hand, the concerns about son's condition probably contributed to this. I like how you put it: "The snow which has chosen to visit you is very lovely." I have not, on this occasion, received it with much grace which is, perhaps, a pity.<BR/><BR/><B>Gael</B>, I think he has actually turned the corner - just. Enough for him to feel fairly sure that he is going on the trip. He's been gargling everything - but I it's the heavy duty antibiotics that have kicked in and done the trick. <BR/><BR/>Your trip will have been worth every penny. I used to ski - loved it. And it's a good investment to store up lovely experiences, I reckon.Reading the Signshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06338983880105866139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6432201290620111119.post-53449917170504550952008-04-06T20:41:00.000+00:002008-04-06T20:41:00.000+00:00Hope the boy turns the corner soon - gargling with...Hope the boy turns the corner soon - gargling with soluble aspirin usually helps, but no doubt he's doing that already. <BR/>Love your snowy picture - we were greeted with a similar sight this morning. Somewhat ironic given that we returned from a skiing holiday in the French Alps late last night - £xK and a 1400 mile round trip when we could just have stayed at home... but then I'd have missed out on plentiful supplies of vin chaud and tarte tatin, so maybe it was worth it after all : )Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6432201290620111119.post-35670452056081958232008-04-06T20:29:00.000+00:002008-04-06T20:29:00.000+00:00The snow which has chosen to visit you is very lov...The snow which has chosen to visit you is very lovely.
