I’ve noticed that one of my regular visitors, recently, is from Oregon in the US. It’s probably not soon enough, but welcome. Nice to see you and, may I point out, that this entry is really for you as you are keep returning, probably looking for a new post.
I thought it was about time that I looked at some of the blogs I like and add them to the list on the side. But, maybe, a little introduction for them would be good.
I wouldn’t call this post ‘news’, since that implies something amazing. A round-up of events is probably a better description. And it’s long because it includes a rant, so, sorry about that in advance.
It’s 1 a.m. and I’m making a call to someone I’ve never met. The conversation goes something like this:

I am walking in to the hospital. Of course, these days, often, they almost seem like hotels. The wide open spaces, the reception desk to ‘check in’. If it wasn’t for all the sick and needy people, the nurses and doctors, you could, often, be entering a four-star hotel.

Well, thanks V, for a really lovely birthday yesterday. The weather was glorious. We went to the Navigli and had brunch with some friends and then strolled around the antiques market. He also bought me some really good presents.
All in all, fantastic and exactly how a birthday should be – perfect.
I am currently thinking about S, who goes to have a knee operation tomorrow. At least, one hopes, it will be the cure and stop the excruciating pain.
Unfortunately, especially as it’s their 20th year, it looks like we won’t be going to the Hay Festival this year. And the programme looks good. A lot of the regular people and, as usual, some interesting names and events.
Ah well, who knows for next year?
Again, this year, there’s the Hay Fringe Festival run by M. Well done, M. I hope it goes well for you.

This post is putting some of the pictures I had promised and one from today.

If this bicycle is stolen every 71 seconds, when on earth does the owner get time to ride it?
