Good Afternoon, Headlights on for the school run these days as the feeble half-tone of Kirkharle's morning light fails to penetrate the drizzle. Later, cranking up this PC I look out of the upstairs window and see my next door neighbour - a retired wig manufacturer - standing on the road that leads out of the village mirroring the concentration of his dog as it does what dogs do. Great. Perhaps it's time for that multi-spectrum lamp after all. Jets flying low right now, they don't mind the rain, in the past a prelude to conflict somewhere. However, as the UK's military marmite is currently spread mighty thin I can't imagine what's afoot... re instituting British rule in those unhappy isles of Fijian Oceania? You heard it here first... Anyone else been watching Aljazeera? Their website is worth a look for this week Aljazeera - good coverage of Lebanon. That's all for now Have a good week.
Best, Nick
