got back home just before one yesterday. Had a great few days. Boiling hot, too much sun, and strange insect bites, but the pool was great and the wedding was good fun all round.

The french beat the english 10 – 8 in the waterpolo, but they had the unfair advantage of having marc (about 7ft high!) in goal whereas we had tan (who did a commendable job, leaping at the nack of any oncoming attacking players!)

watered the tomatoes and seedlings when i got back, and found the chickens had no food – they were starving. Some halfwit had put a hollowed tin can in the feed dispenser and the grain couldn’t get over it. i removed the can but it probably required more grain – where is it located?

the pda arrived. pretty neat, but can’t write very fast yet…
