several days in Bridgetown

Switching to holiday mode... Click!

Deb &I go away for a few days, to Bridgetown, the one in the SW of WA. We stay in a cottage on a farm. No internet, no phone. Very peaceful :-)

I'm feeling lazy, I don't post to this blog... well, I can't, no internet... What I normally do is type the post as an email, press Send -- and it will post when next I connect to the internet. This holiday, I don't even type...

... except for some notes. Brief notes. When I create a hardcopy holiday journal I shall expand my notes. But for this blog -- just imagine a very enjoyable short break and feel free to guess the story behind the following notes :-)

There are breaks in my posting. This one is due to, nothing (relevant) happening. (Which is good news!) It can be boring -- or worrying? -- to have to check back and find no new post.

It should be possible to get a brief email, a notice when I post something new. To the right of screen, Follow by Email... enter your email address just below that and voila! regular, possibly annoying, messages about my new posts.

Or, just check back every so often...
