Good British GP.

I was really pleased with the British Grand Prix yesterday.  Some exciting overtaking moves, not least Jenson on Massa, then Hamilton on Massa during the last lap.

While it was disappointing that a Ferrari won and there wasn't a British driver on the podium it was an enjoyable race to watch.  http://www.formula1.com/ please click the link for more GP news.

Now, I have a bit of a dilemma, whether to put a wireless card in this computer so I can move it into my study.  I'm not so sure how secure wireless is, but it would save unplugging the telephone cable every time someone else wishes to use their computer.

Well, I'll keep you posted, all for today, back soon :)

Some holiday snaps

Well, I'm back to the United Kingdom after a good break, so thought I would share with you some photo's I took.



Interesting wild life, in the above photo.  The picture of the Chapel was taken at a lovely pick nick spot.  More photo's to follow.

I have been staying at my parents remote holiday retreat in mainland Greece.  The journey out went very smoothly, but on the way back having paid for "speedy boarding" with Easy Jet having just got on the plane we had to disembark because of a security threat at Athens airport.  So we were kept waiting for about forty five minutes, which wasn't too bad really.

I missed both the Monaco and Canadian Grand Prix, but managed to see the latter matches of the French tennis matches, learning new Greek words like forehand, backhand and out!
Finished a book by Patrick Bishop - A Good War.A Good War

A Good War

Also read Jeffrey Archer's As The Crow Flies As the Crow Flies

As the Crow Flies


Both books were a good read, but the Archer one was a more gripping story, despite it's length I didn't really want to put it down.
