It is *so* good to be back. Have been a bit flat out to write anything (and believe it or not, I've only checked my email like 4 times since I've been here !!), so I'll try to give a
2005-09-21 : G’day from Heathrow.
I just discovered, I can't write much from this phone. Can't upload photos, neither. Probably just as well, really. Singapore, here I come!
2005-09-20 : Oh how exciting.
I can now write blog entries from my mobile. THIS is just what the world's been crying out for…
2005-09-17 : I told them, put Spinal Tap *first*, Puppet Show second.
