Dear Julian, I'm a bit late getting onto the blog as I have been pursuing Spanish broadband (ADSL). This took all my time (Mac seem not to be so well catered for out here) and ultimately I've had to send it back. I will go via a different company who are more Mac friendly.

All is well at this end, although life is never easy in the slow lane. Things take forever to happen and if it seems such an age since I last made contact with anyone it isn't because I don't love you all, but that there is not much to report. We bought some wine yesterday....that sort of thing.

Having said this, I wrote a book a couple of years ago that Dad read and loved. Maybe I can get you all to read this!! I am working on a second one and if anyone else sees any potential in them, I'll consider contacting a publisher...only I'm not one for negative feedback and don't have balls enough to contact an agent and ask what they think! Man or mouse? Hey, give me that cheese.

Look forward to reading more when this doesn't cost an arm and a leg. i.e. once I do get onto broadband....in Spanish. Como está??
