I've decided to add some of my holiday and travel photos to DA. I know that some people don't like this stuff on DA as it isn't art or stock, but I'm doing it anyway.

Over the next couple of weeks there'll be some shots from South Africa, Dominican Republic, Spain and various places around the UK. I hope there's something that you like......

As always your comments criticism and humour is very welcome.


Keep well and speak soon.

Yup - I got tagged by my mate the Barefoot-Panda !
Apparently I'll die if I don't answer and tag some more victims within 7 days.
Well, I'm going to live dangerously and do half of it - I'll give you my rantings and 8 thinks about me, but I'm not going to tag anyone else. Maybe I'll be spared for 14 days !!!!


Here are the rules !

A. Post these rules.

B. Each tagged person must post 8 things about themselves on their journal.

C. At the end, you have to choose and tag 8 people and post their icons on the same journal.

D. Go to their pages and send a message saying you tagged them.

E. No tag-backs!


So here goes A & B:

1. I can't eat eggs or milk - they don't like me and like to get out quick !! I love Italian and Chinese food.

2. I’ve visited 11 countries outside the United Kingdom - France, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Netherlands, Denmark, United States, Malaysia, South Africa and Dominican Republic. I love them all ! I hope to add Sweden, Finland and Spain to the list by the end of this year.

3. I’m the middle child of three boys. The last time we all met was in 2003 !

4. I drive a Volkswagen - in fact I’m on my seventh since 1991 ! Not very cool but very comfortable !

5. I find religion offensive - I fail to understand why we need an imaginary friend to guide our society’s moral stability.

6. Most of my friends are older than me.

7. I know someone who has Swine Flu. Luckily she’s OK.

8. I’m fascinated to know who’ll come to my funeral. I know it’s morbid and I can never know the answer but I’m curious !

Well, I'm another year older, but am I any wiser ? (probably not !!)

To celebrate, I've got the week off and I've set myself a challenge - no shoes until I go back to work on Monday.
Today, the weather has been fantastic, so off to the seaside. 80 miles each way but worth every minute....photos to follow.

Hope everyone is OK and thanks for reading !



This is still a shoe-free zone ! (but I guess you know that by now !!)

I thought I should add something to this empty journal.
Anyway, welcome to my little corner of DA !

Leave some comment or drop me a note and let me know how you came to be here.

Most important of all - this page has a no shoes policy !
