A bit of this and a bit of that

We’re off to the UK this weekend and off to Milan for the following one. It’s nice to get some time off now that my exams are over. I still have a million things to be doing, so I’ll be taking my laptop along with me for the ride. It’s nice that you can get [...]

I managed to get my letter out to the insurance finally yesterday. I’ve had this ongoing saga with a bag that British Airways lost for me in January 2006. When I finally got all the paperwork in order for the Direct Line they came back to me wanting the original receipts of everything that I [...]

I just heard that a friend of mine won a trip to South Africa. She took part in a competition on Virgin Radio and just found out that she had been selected as the winner. The trip includes flights to South Africa, accommodation and spending money. Great way to go on holiday really; without having [...]

I wasn’t thinking of our taking a holiday in the Mediterranean this year, as it is rather close to home. However, I ended up browsing a website called MedHead.com which specialises in properties in different countries around the Mediterranean. In particular, I came across a Cyprus property which could be rented for much less than [...]

Hmmm .. I just realised it’s February and we still have no holiday plans for this year. Camille was talking about going someone sunny in Summer, but I’m not really one for sun, sand and sea; though we might do that as Arthur would have a whale of a time! The good thing is that [...]

I’m not sure if you knew this, but Thailand was one of the countries Camille and I visited when we went on honeymoon. It was a brilliant experience, we saw so many things and it was marvelous to see how different their culture was to ours. It’s not hard to get flights to Thailand today, [...]

I came across a great website today called SymiDream. It’s all about what’s going on the small Greek island of Symi. The site owner let me debug my GeoWidget gadget there, so I’m very much indebited to him. Thanks mate! It was great of you to trust me on your server and I’m glad we [...]

We had a pretty quiet New Year’s Eve celebration this year, but some of my friends at work have been more adventurous that me. (Well actually, we spent December in four different countries, so I suppose that’s adventurous enough). Anyway, I was speaking to a friend of mine who celebrated New Year in Edinburgh, a [...]

Just been speaking to my mate Iain who was on the boat to the Isle of Man last night. The weather has been really bad over the last few days and will continue till the weekend. He actually came across with his family in a Force 8 wind, and it’s fair to say that it [...]

When we went to Finland few weeks ago we took left our car at a parking place called APH. It was tricky as the flight left really early in the morning. So, one of the options we considered was getting a place at one of the airport hotels in the area. We flew out of [...]
