hello? So yeah . . . I woke up at something like 03:30 this morning. It was so early, I didn't even know where the hell I was or what day it was. I woke up, there was some beeping thing going on, but I couldn't turn it off, or wasn't sure what was beeping (and why) so I hurled myself towards the wrong corner of my bedroom, where resided the clothes rack (temporary wardrobe), before I managed to work out where the door really was. It was too early, like I say. Anyway, Gerry picked me up from my home (after a breakfast consisting of three slices of brown bread and an apple (Granny Smith)) and then we went to Tom's house. I had half a cup of coffee before the taxi arrived, ferrying us to Manchester airport. We arrived a minute or two (literally) after Rob, Geoff, Karlis and Hamish. So, going from left to right (the photographs above): that's my view from my bedroom (a twin room shared with Hamish), that's looking down from the stairs from the second floor, that's Karlis, that's the pool, that's the pool (with Rob in and Hamish about to be in), that's me in the ground floor living room, that's Geoff also in the ground floor living room.

so, as you can probably tell, I'm still taking pictures of nothing much at all. It took us quite a while to make it to the supermarket, buy all our stuff, my blood sugar levels dropping ever lower, before . . . before . . . I'm not sure how that sentence should end, but . . . yes. Wolf down the banana and drink a litre of grapefruit juice and we're all okay again. From left to right: that's the house where we were staying, that's the pool (again), that's some of us (Tim, Geoff and . . . is that Chris?), more people (Geoff and Richard (Rik?!) playing table tennis and Tom), a strange insect on my finger, the view of the church (thanks for the electronic bell ringing) from our garden, a letter left by a previous occupant (THANKS!)

then from left to right . . . that's a well I found in the garden; that's our local church; the same; that's Tom, Rob and Tim (from left to right) at one of the bars in the main village square (time: 23:17); and another picture of the stairs (23:39). I think we went for pizza at the nearby pizzeria (or similar), it being just up the road from our house.
