The Netherlands

The weather has turned cold in the UK and it is dark when I set out on my 3 hour round trip daily commute in the morning and dark when I return home in the evening. But my day has warmed up when I noticed on Google Analytics that Sint Annaland in the Netherlands is a new city and country to add to the blogging list. Better still, I have been able to track down my good friend Jose in Hong Kong and congratulate him on his success. I have emailed Francis and Dominic as well but haven't picked up a reply yet. Such is life, my home computer had crashed and it took a while to extract their email addresses from my system. I have been using Webmail in the interim and the address book was empty. Maybe this is why I have such a fascination with pens. As pens are in the main, reliable. Unless of course it is a leaky gift to your Professor! Which Blog readers will know all about from a previous post. Even with the cold dark weather, there is always a bright side. Mine is my forthcoming Annual Leave and the intention to build a working 'n' gauge railway layout for our Grandson. Choo choo Bloggers...
