Alastair in the driving seat!


Whoopee - Ally's passed his driving test on the second attempt and is now on the hunt for a second hand VW camper van to fulfill his hippie ambitions!

Meanwhile, back to the real world and realising just how many things we need to get organised before our next travels to Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam (starting sometime in November). Apart from self-assessment tax returns, yellow fever jabs, finding a new lodger, ziggy to the vet as he's been scrapping, and a myriad of household maintenance things. Also keen to catch up on the socialising and neglected friends!

Hosted a nice Lib Dems garden party on Sunday. Not attending the conference this year, but continuing to keep a close eye on Lib Dem developments nationally. Regretably, I feel that Ming - and indeed the party in general - has missed a number of opportunities to loudly offer alternative visions - particularly on the Lebanon/Israeli conflict. Ally has been demonstrating and is stepping up his involvement in the NO2ID campaign.
