After raining all morning it's now brightened up, but the forecast for tomorrow is vile for both here and Wimbledon. Shame about Henman losing, but a lot of my other favourite players are still in :-(. I suppose I'd better spend the day checking that all my holiday clothes are washed and ironed - although then I'll have to sit around in my nightie

I've been to Auschwitz, it's terribly terribly moving. On reflection, I think I'm glad I went, but a few people seem to treat it as a theme park and take photos in the places where you are asked to refrain from doing so, which riled me. (I really can't understand who would want photographs of a crematorium kiln? - people are odd).

There were a couple of places where I cried. There's some baby clothes which are hand-knitted and it's just so awful to think about it. The photos of the victims are upsetting also. There were some places I couldn't bring myself to go into - the prison hut and the crematoria.

The weirdest thing is you take a bus from the station and I thought 'oh there's no way we will miss it' but we went right past it and the driver took us back - you think it would overshadow the town but it doesn't. Frightening, really.

Mum and Dad went a few years ago, and they said much what you've said.
