Multitasking Made Easy

This is what happens when you cook and read email. The content of Clive's email was not good news either...

Knutsford Mayday

Meet the neighbours - it's the Mayday parade!

The First Tomtom Confutation of Spring

I'm on my way towards Cheshire and I change my route to visit Coventry to drop my seat off for height reduction at Swindling Melvyn's. This turns out to confuse Tomtom who then directs me up the M6 Toll rather than A515. In my attempt to recover I cross the Coventry canal at least twice, the Mersey and Trent once and inspect at least three dreary townsworths of confusing one way systems complete with learner drivers and Aldis by the dozen. I celebrate the discovery of the A515 at Kings Bromley with a layby tea. The Cat and Fiddle pass proves tricky with gusting wind and driving rain - Tomtom confuses again at Macclesfield (Garmin only knows where she is trying to take me) but luckily I'm familar with the run in to Knutsford - Northwich will wait until Sunday.

Madeira Comestibles

Two of these went down a treat: The other did not.

Funchal Flowers by Night

I can thoroughly recommend Rainwater (Blandys 3 year old). Oops - that will be in the next blog entry.

Madeira His and Hers

Strangeness on the Flight to Madeira

I don't know about you dear reader but I find it good to fly to a new place on the national carrier to gain some insight into the local culture*.
So far then 30 minutes into the flight, the Portugese physique is that of a disjointed plasticine pin man (thus rendering the life jacket useless) and the diet consists mainly of hot dogs...



*Some exceptions include Nigeria and Turkey
