I guess from your blog that we're not going to get another lunchtime at the George before you leave?

Anyhow, It was good to see you again and catch up with Roger and Beth. I expect you ran out of time far too soon, that and the call of the open road.

For the record, it was 28 degrees in Kent yesterday, we've had a few days like that recently and last night it rained for the first time in 22 days. So, we may not have the temples but we do have the weather....and the tuk-tuk's in Brighton, and the lady girls, apparently!

I tried the Go MAD coachng stuff again the other day, I used it on my youngest son......he's now resigned his job and is leaving Guernsey to move to Brighton in 2 weeks time!! It's MAD, I really shouldn't be allowed to use that process without warning people it could affect their cosy routines.

Take care and enjoy.

Hiya, sounds like SE Asia is going to be fun and relaxing, lots of time to explore. Still rubbish weather here, today just might (!) be the first day it doesn't rain since I came back off honeymoon. Take care

Hi Beth,

A little after the event in sending this but glad you're OK. It's bizarre how events connect people at random....one of my work friends based in Shanghai comes from the area affected and has lost contact with family members so he's down Xidu way looking for them at the moment. You could have passed him in the street!!

I'm in Denmark for the next 3 weeks delivering training and staying out of the way, that way I won't open my big gob and talk myself out of another job. Actually it's fun being back in the job market, if only more companies paid interview expenses I could make a reasonable living. Were the terracotta warriors good? Of course when youi're my age you remember the original terracotta figures....Bill and Ben the flower pot men. They were always saying "Flobalobba" usually just after a little weed!!!! Ah, the influence of the Sixties.

Have fun

Oh no, poor Ken, we are jinx you and I. Maybe we should set up on our own. Advice on how a business should be sold!!

its the blonde hair beth they dont understand why you are so gorgeous ! just to good to be true lol see you in june love ya xxxxxxxx

Hi Chuck, it's been a while since I last checked in, I've been busy flying, mainly in the firms time!! The sale of the business hasn't gone too well so I've got time on my hands these days. It's probably time to consider another move, a bit soon after the last but as you know I'm not good at tolerance, I need my job satisaction. Just don't be rushing back too soon to take me up on that job offer, not that you appear to missing work....and who could blame you, it's a vastly over-rated concept. Enjoy..

Say hi to Kasumi if you see her. Our toilet seat here is heated if you get on soon enough after someone else has been on, not sure what is good about that, always feels weird to me.

Its sunny here, nearly summer! See you soon.

Stop it with the Shen mue.

Just stop it.

Japan is crazy, definetly returning, who couldn`t miss the heated toilets seats, but South America was pretty amazing too!!

yeah you remember that day, the day when the rain turned to snow? do you remember seeing a black car?

japan sounds really interesting. it's the first place you've been i want to go see. can't believe you've survived those coffin beds! they sound pretty weird but i suppose it's only one step on from sleeping above the cab of a motor caravan....

glad to hear you are having lots of fun in Japan.could you pick me up a robot dog, they sound cool, not sure what the cats would think. Missing you. Did you see that man? The man with the scar from that night? You could get a job moving boxes by the docks if you need money.

Did you have to put a picture of a shark on your site when you are off surfing? X

Easter Eggs in Australia, yes.

I don't miss work. At all. Is that wrong??
