yes the bloody French – the real reason they didn’t want to get involved with Iraq is they could see it would interfere with the August holidays – well the Odtaa Files are going to close down until sometime in September – probably later – as after the holiday I’ll be house sitting for the last week of the Edinburgh festival and then another week.
A few things have happened since I last posted – the house next door got attacked by a mob of 14 year olds throwing eggs – yes Mr Blunkett – your perspective and my perspective of your crime statistics differ – I think things are getting worse but we’re less inclined to report them.
I was proud of myself that I went to intervene – but relieved that they had run away before I could put my shoes on. It seems its some ongoing problem with the gang and one of next doors kids.
My daughter has passed her first year at university – hip – hip – horray.
The rubbish in the garden has finally gone – and I’m probably about to be assinated by the local green group for destroying important nature habit – I’m still chasing the insect life out of my car. I need to find a body to fill the whole.
Mother is till giving me grief. She won’t let me update her apartment in mallorca and as a result we’ve lost some bookings. I’m going to have to – s p e l l – the situation out to her slowly. She’s put me in the position – I’m in charge – except when I want to do anything – its her way of giving me a lot of grief.
Seen some good films – Divided We Fall – was about some people in an occupied town during the war. It was about compromise and the ending – OK contrived – had collaborators – cowards – an escaped Jew and a member of the militia all together – gathered together around the birth of a baby – the message forget the past and get on with your lives. In a Hollywood film most would have had to die.
Oh and the cat threw up over my new academic diploma.
Mostly I have been working on writing proposals and a couple of web projects.
I plan to completely redevelop the Odtaa Files site – I am not so happy with Blogger and Google seems to have gone off the site. C’est La Guerre – as they say.
Enjoy
