Travelling the world while shit hits the fan

First off, my heartfelt thanks to my web guru James, who saved this site when the upgrade to 3.0 smashed the theme format. Not only that, he even dropped a post to let you all know what was happening. Thanks Jim!

I’m currently in Edinburgh, having just arrived 34 hours after leaving home. We had decent enough flights and all that. By far the worst part of the journey was the last hour trying negotiate Edinburgh in our hire car to find the hotel. Seriously, Edinburgh – NOT car friendly. Especially with all the roadworks, which I’m convinced they ran out and changed after we passed through in order to make them different on our next attempt.

Anyway, my site crapping itself just when I leave for an overseas trip of 4 weeks is pretty annoying, but that’s life. James has dropped this current theme to keep things in order. I must say, it’s pretty horrible, but perfectly serviceable for now. I’ll rebuild something closer to my old site as time allows, which may not be till the middle/end of July when I get back from Europe.

In the meantime, at least everything is still here and I apologise for any disruption you may have noticed. I’ll obviously be posting a bit less than usual over the next few weeks while I enjoy my holidays, but I’ll post bits and pieces as time allows. Now, I’ve been awake for an unholy length of time, just had a shower and I think it’s time for a sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

    “Especially with all the roadworks, which I’m convinced they ran out and changed after we passed through in order to make them different on our next attempt”

    I used to joke that the grocery store stockers came in at night and moved everything around just so I’d have to stand there and look for what I wanted longer and maybe impulse buy something else. And then I got to know a guy who manages a chain of grocery stores, and guess what?
    *sometimes fact is stranger than fiction*

    Hope you’re enjoying the trip. Be safe.

    Thanks – will do. (Can’t trust those wily grocers).
