I have been looking for my Sidmouth 25 teeshirt for weeks only to find that I used to be a medium - the psychic abilities are as strong as ever but 24 years of carbohydrate aquisition have caused expansion beyond even the limits of teeshirt sag. Oh well no showing off there then.

I will try to go into the Middle Bar next week - but the atmosphere is not one I find easy to breathe in, and it comes out in a squeek. Even todays lower percentage of smokers affects my voice. I do like a good chorus to join in with, can be a bit shy in front of a crowd, so I don't mind being in an audience, in some circumstances.

I will pack my sun screen, wear my Tilley hat and have the insect repellent on standby - that should ensure a fine light drizzle with occassional downpours for the whole week. (only joking)
