Yes, the trip has been pushed out by 2 weeks so instead of flying out to Rio on the 12th of June we are now flying on June 26th. I fly to Scotland on Thursday (21st) and we will both fly from there next Tuesday. The extra time has afforded me the opportunity to do some work on the garden even if the rain is keeping me at bay most of the time. I had a nice leaving do recently. A group of us went to Luigi Malones for a meal followed by some sociable drinks in Jim Cashmans. With nowhere to go after the pub my cousin, Clare, kindly offered her apartment as a venue to continue the discussion on the socio-economic recovery of Afganistan...at least I think that's what we were talking about. So anyway, stay tuned as, please God, future posts will actually be made from more exotic locations. Fraser, thanks for your kind comments. As you rightly observed this blog not only aims to be informative, but educational as well. Get ready to broaden your mind...
