All the right notes....not necessarily in the right order!

Poor Ruth, you sound as frustrated as André Preview when Eric Morcambe had a go at the Rachmaninov. Are you sure your new MD isn't one of these trendy young vicars doing music on the side? Lillac and slate? That's what vicars wear, isn't it - lilac shirt, slate suit and a dog collar? Check for the dog collar and get back to me on that one.

Dad, you need to stick the tooth on with superglue. I guarantee that is what your dentist will do. My boss sticks his back together quite often, whenever he has a cold ice cream at least. Yesterday he had the three front top teeth missing. Today you wouldn't have been able to tell they were not his. He carries the glue around in his pocket!

The weather here is cooling down. It's still very warm in the day and as I sit here at ten to nine the patio doors are open and I'm in short sleeves. My bare feet can tell that the cool air is slipping in, though. The 'season' is all but done but the weather at the moment is very pleasant.

By the way, although Benidorm is a British cliché it has some amazing country around it and, if you avoid the toursits even the old town is really quite special. Puig Campana, the mountain behind us is 30 metres taller than Ben Nevis and it stands like the peak of the pap with nothing else around it, less than 10 km from the coast. Behind this is Aitana which is 130m+ higher than Ben Nevis...so we are not without a few spectacular views. If you go twenty minutes inland you can get into great country and still cycle to work of a morning. Mind you, getting home could be a problem!

Look forward to seeing you all soon. Thanks for sorting the tickets from your end Steve. Where and when are we out to lunch, Ruth?
