>> Just a note to say that I may be without an internet connection for a day or so whilst I'm settling into Hyères and roaming around town with my laptop looking for a WI-FI connection (rustic villa that I'm staying at is exactly that.....rustic.....).  There's some timed-posts going up today (timed blogging never feels right to me...) but commenting will be scant....

Now... there better be some bloody wi-fi... or I'm getting a cheapo Ryanair flight back pronto...
