It is now 7.04 p.m. I rolled up about half an hour ago. I'm operating on about 31/2 hours sleep, having woken up in the Motel 6 at Portsmouth about two hours before my wake up call. However, I had a good drive, sustained by coffee and memories of great singing and good friends. I particularly remember the singing sessions in the pubs, harmonizing with so many fine singers and actually having some of them harmonize with me!!

Time to sign off now. Bill the Cat is rolling around on his back, complaining. I also want a shot of the duty free Scotch I bought at the border.

Cheers

Edmund
