Today in 1967 the 6-Day War began in the Middle East and today in 1975 the Suez Canal reopened after 8 years.

A definition of insanity: to continue the same behaviour and yet expect different results.

Don't cry because it's over; smile because it happened.

A change is as good as a holiday ...

... so while Padma is away in Indonesia, I've moved into the guest-cottage where keeping house and keeping warm is so much easier.

The fridge is stocked with potato salad and 'bratwurst' and my favourite lentil soup and I am surrounded by books and videos and DVDs to last me through the winter. Come and visit me on the cottage's website to see how and where I live!
