See the thing with LJ memes is, I generally don't partake. I am not trying to be a sourpuss or anything, I just know in my heart of hearts that that way lies madness, since they are a) designed to self-propagate, b) infinite in supply. By definition then, they are agents of our own demise; an unending viral cycle which, once entered into, ( Read more... )

First Foot in France

A faultless trip. Red Fred duly farewelled in Shanklin, 30 mins wait, the little train to Ryde, 30 mins wait, the Fast Cat to Plymouth and finally - after 3 ½ hours wait -- on to the ‘Bretagne’, the Britanny Ferry which was to bring me to France.

And what a surprise! I had expected a ship on the lines of the one which brought me from Jersey. Not so! No container-cum-ferry this one, but a regular luxury liner! More restaurants, bars and shops per square foot than QE2 of my seadays. I was almost intimidated. However, I was not there to shop or eat, but to voyage and sleep and, after a soothing Guinness or three, that’s what I did, awakening just in time for a shower, a shave and a bit of a queue, before disembarking comfortably in St Malo.

Brian was at the ferry to meet me, and to lead me to our hotel, the Bristol Union, in the heart of ‘old’ St Malo. We ate a very hearty ‘Continental’ breakfast in Paris: Bet your Paris Holiday on the U.S. Economy… inclusive of the cheese and sausage which I’d always connected ( ... )

A wander, a rest, and then we were ready for the event of the day. Dinner. My first French meal since the glories of ‘La Vague’ in Dunkerque over a year ago. Finding a suitable (for me) restaurant amongst the plethora of Very Obviously Touristy places that crowd round the Grande Porte and the other more obvious streets, and the inescapable elbow-to-elbow selection of Breton crêperies and galetteries, could have been tough, but Brian had been here before ( ... )

This morning dawned fine, so we headed off for a walk down the promenade of St Malo’s long, brown and yellow beach. Surprisingly empty. Where were all the people? I popped across the sands to visit the very obvious small fort (closed, open only at low tide .. er it was low tide) from where you get a grand view of the ‘old’ town snuggled behind the vast sea walls that protect it from the oceans ( ... )

Handheld GPS Reciever anonymous February 18 2009, 10:40:41 UTC

Heya! ...Very Incredible and marvellous! It is the Handheld GPS Receiver. Who says GPS "satellite reception lost!"..That wasn't funny because Handheld GPS Receiver is "Very Sensitive Receive - cannot envision it loosing reception outdoors", fast route calculation. Infact Handheld GPS reciever is an excellent technology, welldesigned, excellent sat lock, high screen and lots of features and very robust. I highly recommend it!!!!
