Mixed News

Finally discovered that my belongings are in... Lisbon. Yes, after six months, they've made it to the mainland. And no further.

I remember the feeling when a bunch of money hadn't appeared in my bank in Madeira, and when I queried its continuing absence, a quite defensive Halifax person insisted: "We sent it exactly where you told us to. The Bank of Andalucia."

So, this is better.

And in other news:

Now that's how an article about Dial2Do should start!

Serendipitous Learning

I was reading some of Thoreau's cool quotes yesterday - you know the type of thing, "I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life... and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived." Very DPS.

I thought, I should read more about that guy; and I also thought that he'd make an ideal subject for In Our Time. And lo and behold, as I'm refreshing my podcasts, Melvyn's latest programme was on all things Thoreau. Off to listen now...

And on an entirely different note, congratulations to Dial2Do for their MoMo Peer Awards Nomination. Fingers crossed for the 26th & Barcelona!! Exciting :-)
