That's a good idea but I'll have to check into fat girl's world first to make sure I don't have any bad dreams.

I hope, both of you enjoyed the voyage, and you made a lot of photos!

What were you going to buy?

I did sleep Izz...apart from the not sleeping interruptions. But I feel better now thanks.

I had a bad dream though. I dreamt there was a monstrous bunny killer on the loose in the Ruhr district of Germany. Must stop listening to night time radio!

Both of us enjoyed the voyage very much, met some old friends, and had some great sailing, despite some foul winds. But the food on board was great really. (Geddit?)

Plenty pictures were taken, but not by me. Actually one of the crew is setting up a webpage for all to post pictures, so there'll be hundreds, if not thousands, posted I expect. Plenty serious-looking cameras being wielded. I'll supply a link to that later, for those interested.

FionaB took pics, and so I'll post a few later when we've made a selection. Poor thing had to go in to work today.

After the voyage, we had a long weekend with some shipmates in Normandy by-the-sea near Deauville, and came back via Caen and Paris.

Fantastic McTag!

How delightfully civilised. I always think of French impressionist painters when anyone mentions Normandy. Caen't get enough.

By the way Walter, the current edition of Le Figaro has a lot of lovely pics relating to the Rouen festival of the sea. I'm not sure whether you can easily get a copy in your neck of the woods.

Hey Mac - so pleased you had a great time and will look forward to seeing your pics - poor Fiona having to go straight back into work a? Good to see you back here.

Stevie - glad to hear you are getting better and managed to sleep some. Now, maybe a coupla days not getting cold and wet on the bike will get you back to feeling good again - yeah :wink: Hey to MrsS. x

Okay, Figaro schmigaro.

Maybe it's a supplement or a separate magazine publication, but I bought my copy on Monday. Not the newspaper, a magazine.

Good for you Mac.

Did you feel any pain?

I would have had I woke up from a hypnotic trance to find that I had actually bought, with actual cash, an actual pile of flattened out wood pulp with ink inserts in it of such a uselesss nature.

And on a Monday too. That's dynamite.

I trust it was no earlier than 13.00 hours.

If you want to discuss things useless- what's your function, exactly? A phrase I learned in Manchester is "neither use nor ornament", and that seems apt in your case.

Glaswegians on holiday: I know a man who was raised in Kendal, and he remembers coachloads of Scottish holidaymakers going home from Blackpool in the 1950s and 60s, throwing the remains of their holiday money out of the coaches for the local kids to scramble for.

It's made round to go round, but I wouldn't expect a Yorkshireman to understand that.
