Roll with the punches...

I've always loved that phrase for no apparent reason...

Anyway, been really slack with posting of late so this is an attempt to bring you up to date on the Wide World of Jimi.

For those who don't know, Annie (Ness' Mum) is now in France and soon to go on her 'Trek for Lochlin' from France through to Spain - she too has a web log and I will put a link up to it if anyone is interested.

I have pulled out of the Dip. Ed. There are many reasons for this, and I don't want to bore anyone so I'm not going to go to far into it. But I will say this - the support networks for studying via correspondence are virtually non-existent and if you want to contact your lecturer directly you almost have no hope of getting any reply. Although I am a little disappointed with the outcome I take some solace in that maybe that just wasn't my path to follow - for the moment anyway.

Ness had her Birthday early this month, so a belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY to her. Well, I didn't miss it, the post is just a bit late.

All going well, we will be back on the road soon, after my dislike of public transport has been renewed once more. It will be a relief to get around on our own timetable rather than someone else's.

Finally, another massive shout out to everyone overseas. GOOD LUCK ANNIE, may the soles of your shoes be sturdy. T & A, enjoy the last of your time in the dong, we all look forward to having you back home. DARKO and JESS, best wishes and good tidings to you also. Last, but not least, SEDGE - luck to you in love and life man, nice to hear you've found someone who makes you feel a little more at home when you are far away from your real one.

Peace, love and respect to you all,

Jimi
