			<description><![CDATA[I've had to be a bit quiet about this, while I was in negotiations with the Uni over redundancy money (it shouldn't be relevant but........).
<br />
 
<br />
Anyway, I've got a new job - start 4th January - Deputy Practice Manager at a Medical Practice.
<br />
 
<br />
I'm really thrilled to bits.  Being made redundant makes you feel useless, so finding another post so quickly has been a real fillip.
<br />
 
<br />
Thank you to all of you who've made supportive comments.]]></description>

As crew are away from home over Christmas they are allowed a four course meal plus a full bottle of wine each, in addition they can also take someone with them for free! How do I explain to Chris, that she's now cooking Christmas lunch and it just her and  ...</description>

So sorry to hear of all the flooding back home but glad Nick and Chris are ok. Not much to report. The windows are going in at the new supermarket. They've made great progress whilst we've been here so should be up and running soon. There is some activity going on at the horrible green apartment building on the right as you go up the hill to Kalogria. The gardens are being landscaped -  ...</description>

Spooky!

			<description>The father of one of our fallen troops in Afghanistan wrote this poem and read it at his son's funeral. It was broadcast by the BBC during the Armistice Day Parade.

 

Made me sad.

 



There is in the eternal realms a great line of men who march along a long winding road

Their task is to collect the dead of ages taken from the ranks of the fallen



After midnight on the 30th May 2009 the great line halts and a Sgt Majors voice rings out, not as in the parade ground, but in the solemn  ...</description>

			<description>John, harking back to a conversation about photograph hosting sites some time ago. I have just signed up for the following site which I reckon is pretty good. It is global and free, unless you want to upgrade.

I have only one image on there at the moment and that isn't a photo but a CG.



 I shall have to try to find  some half decent pics to put on there.



Have a look HERE



And my image is HERE </description>

			<description><![CDATA[My daughter got married on Monday and we had a really lovely day (it's an unusual day for a wedding but it's half-term and she's a teacher so it was convenient).  The weather was perfect, the venue was very pretty, the food was delicious and everyone was happy, particularly the bride and groom.

<br />
A day to remember!]]></description>

			<description>The first Mickey Mouse style cartoon in Greece. It celebrates the disastrous Italian invasion through Albania in October 1940 and the winter campaign in the Pindus mountains.



On the evening of 1940-10-27 the Italian Mission in Athens received a coded message from Rome.

The same evening it held a reception that continued into the night. At

02:30 the ambassador excused himself and disappeared. His destination:

the prime ministerial residence. His cargo: a list of Greek "outrages"

			<description>I have a strong personal grievance against Nick Griffin misappropriating the symbolic Spitfire for BNP propaganda.



Back in 1938, my father was an RAF boy apprentice who was on home leave.  Walking from Stoke station to visit his girlfriend (my mother-to-be) he found his way blocked by a large crowd, spilling out of Wharf Street and into Glebe Street.



There was a &quot;black shirt&quot; rally in progress, being at that moment, harangued by Sir Oswald Mosley.  As my father worked his  ...</description>

Thought I had picked up an ear infection which seems to be the source of the discomfort but after my GP examined it yesterday morning, he said it was more consistent with a blow to the head, with severe inflammation and blood specks - can't recall any bangs at all though. So I'm not my normal cheeful self and it's also my excuse for being far worse than usual on the quiz.

An older couple had for many years from before WW2 also rented a number of rooms in my Grandad's house, usually staying from May to September after the husband, Tom, retired.Not surprisingly they became close  ...</description>

Members of staff at one taverna explained of the 'boom' of eastern bloc flights failed to make any impact on business as individuals spent very little on food and drink, etc. and would prefer to sit on a beach towel with a box of pringles until the sun sets. This comment does appear harsh, but taverna prices are increasing, understandably through lack of business  ...</description>

Had a good, relaxing holiday, despite less than perfect weather.  We had 3 cloudy days with some rain and a thunderstorm but still managed to get out and about and do some walking and explore this little island.  Our main regret is that, due to the weather, we didn't get chance to do a boat trip to see the western coast and caves from the sea, or get to Antipaxos.  I suppose that gives us an excuse to go back sometime - I think it would be very beautiful  ...</description>
