Smartly, I set my alarm clock last night. Now it is time to put on my shoes and get ready to go out to the real world.

World views in the morning are a little hard to come by, one has to swack one's face with a warm facecloth, if available.

Thanks for putting the lid on the eternal shoe conversation, Ossobuco - I remember when my travel thread became taken over by the subject, temporarily. Should I continue with my travel digression, since I am returning to Hong Kong next weekend and will progress from there to SE Asia again?

Available diversions for me today include - staying on A2K all morning, filling in a tax form, cleaning and clearing my office (long overdue), watching the Olympics. And this afternoon I am taking two students from our school to Plymouth for a sightseeing trip in the rain.

Available light is good enough sometimes when taking pictures. I have a little digital camera now and the pictures are better without the flash, in conditions penumbrate.

Clazza, if by "pipped" you mean " was beaten by", I plead guilty as charged, and apologise.
Ladies are much smarter than gents, as we all know.

Yes I was in Tuscany for a week, and will report on Osso's Italian thread, this evening I promise. Such a lot to report. Anyway it was great.

Great Very Happy! Was this the first time that you've been to Tuscany, or have you been before?

Time #2. The first time was a walking holiday based in Barga, which I think is in Garfagnana.
This time we were based in Montecatini. More later. Ciao.

Well it's here: sorry for getting a bit off-topic btw

Interested is a good starting point, indeed. For what can we accomplish, what can we learn, without that?

That seems to have been a delightful trip, McTag. After reading about it, I am ready to pack and head for Italy.

Italy is a very seductive, complex and satisfying society. More people have added their thoughts to the above thread; meanwhile I watched The Sopranos on TV last night- a new series has started here.

Here is a helping hand to get the old "Conversation about Everything" back on the leader board. Where are the conversationalists tonight?

Tonight, I am supposed to be at a student party. However, I am making last-minute arrangements for my Hong Kong trip.

Trip is a nice word, so nice that it has been borrowed by those who enjoy wacky baccy. But hey, why not, it's a free country as we used to bore each other silly by saying.

Saying 'I'm glad that you had a wonderful trip, McTag,' or 'I hope that all goes swimmingly and that the in-flight movie is something tasteful, Clary,' just aren't good enough, somehow. But there's a fine line between being welcoming and being bombastic.

Bombastic movies are something I try to avoid at all costs. I usually find the in-flight movies are dreadful rubbish interspersed with good ones I've already seen, but travelling on Cathay Pacific might be better.
