Unfortunately we are back from holidays. We spent a few days in Barcelona (a beautiful city, we will definitely be back). We then got the train down to Valencia, stayed there two nights, and then spent a week in Torrevieja. A most enjoyable and relaxing holiday.

My better half and I went to see the new Matrix Film last night, Rob was right, “It went up its own arse”, is what I think he said to me in the pub last week. And I agree with him, a very weak ending. I guess I’ll just have to look forward to LOTR now. All in all it was very dissapointing.
Adam, James’s 14 month old nephew, is quite ill. Any good thoughts you can spare, for Adam, his brother and parents would be most appreciated.
