There is nothing like a Dane

Ooer. This diary entry is late. It’s just gone 9am local time on Friday morning as I type this, but I’m so far behind that I’m only just getting round to writing about what I did on Wednesday this week.…

Chapter02

Too suite

For the handful of you who like to read my diary “live”, expecting me not unreasonably to post about my exploits in a timely manner, I can only apologise for my tardiness on this trip. I can’t see how I’ll…

Burleigh to bed, early to rise

Punning free

Park. Run.

Wow. I’m late with this, eh? As I type it’s 3.30pm on Sunday 21st July, so nearly 7 days since I actually got home. The intervening time has been a festival of jet lag, household electrical emergencies, work, and catching…

My Left Foot

Tell you what, it’s very hard to motivate myself to write diary entries once I’m more than, say, 2 days late. Hence I’m writing this a full 14 days after the events I’m about to recount, with my iPad resting…
