Sunday morning online

Everything takes twice as long on Sunday mornings as those starved of websites as they are at work all week are all using them now. I am only online as there are matters which I wished to clear up - (Pete - see my message on e-mail)
Steve I laughed out loud at your (I hope) comic exam assessments. As for Nic's place in Ivinghoe - he is on holiday in Bali at the moment and it would be a good idea to check when he is back, in case you think he no longer wants the work done. I am sure he does.
Julian, I love your Postcards invoking memories of your local views. How about one (or more) of Venasque? or is that too trippy? There so many lovely little gems near you.
How is Cathy? we haven't heard much of the goings on in L-B - are you busy zapping flies?(in-joke) and is it warm enough for you all?
Last weekend's IOW Festival was a great success and everyone was glad of the good weather - we could hear the bands in Newport, from here!
We had a lovely day yesterday following the 1600 odd yachts of all sizes in the Round the Island Yacht race, which Ellen Macarthur did not win. It was won by a very proud New Zealander in his new boat. We went out to Yarmouth where the sea was full of white blobs, then on to Totland where the wind came up and spread the white blobs about a bit (incidentally we passed a hotel/restaurant which we heard of as being 'la creme de la creme' of restaurants). Mum, in the heat of the moment booked us for lunch today in honour of me as it is Father's Day (Thanks for all your good wishes) and all you fathers out there. From Totland we went round to Freshwater Bay where some of the boats came in nearer to the shore but as far as one could see (and that is a long way from Freshwater) there must have been over 1000 boats disappearing off into the distance.
We came home about 3.30pm and had some ice-cream and sat out in the garden.
On Wednesday or Thursday we are off to spend a couple of days in Kent with Auntie June - it was her 76th birthday last Friday, but we are going to see her as all her family are down in l'Oc on holiday. We are away from 23 - 28 June I expect. As June is not online I will be taking my mobile 07967550179. I hope the battery does not run out/ Love y'all.
