Well I just thought i'd show you what I have to contend with each time I look for my car... and it gets worse. I'm number 4 in this photo. Click to enlarge.

stress relief...
Well I haven't got much to say at the moment, nothing to say about current affairs - the middle east, the "credit crunch" (oh I hate that expression) or anything else really. I'm still searching for work... just about surviving. So, instead I thought i'd share my special place with you - a part of the bedroom that belongs only to me and a great remedy to the stresses of living in the current climate! Try it!
Take care

Hello you 'orrible lot,
A new year, a new look.
This wasn't originally going to be a happy new year message but as I was going to post something anyway, I thought it would be rude not to at least say something small. Well, happy new year, and I hope that all your dreams come true... unless they were bad dreams (like some i've been having recently due to illness) then obviously, no, I don't wish that. I was (and still am) sat here at my computer feeling like death warmed up, so I thought it the perfect opportunity to make some kind of compilation of video clips which I recorded during my time in Argentina. I have been meaning to do it ever since I returned but I just haven't got round to it for various reasons. So after a couple of hours work, here it is.

(Looking at this video again, I am starting to wonder if I subconsciously make a point to record the most boring things possible and especially those of "geographical" insterest. I mean... quite a lot of this video is dedicated to rocks... but don't let that put you off watching it.)
Take care all.

never say goodbye
Faces in the sand
Let me take you by the hand
Where do you come from
From a strange and secret land
Dark and scary eyes
And you feel you're always this way
Take me by the hand
Let me show you games we can play
Take me by suprise
Hide nothing from the shadows
We can kiss the sky
Never say goodbye
As we chase the clouds away
Pictures in the air
Would you let me take you there
Hold me, I will fall
And I'll show you how much I care
Paint your silver smile
Show you things that won't be sad
Let me take you there
And I'll show you what fun can be
Let me take you by the hand
Where do you come from
From a strange and secret land
Dark and scary eyes
And you feel you're always this way
Take me by the hand
Let me show you games we can play
Take me by suprise
Hide nothing from the shadows
We can kiss the sky
Never say goodbye
As we chase the clouds away
Pictures in the air
Would you let me take you there
Hold me, I will fall
And I'll show you how much I care
Paint your silver smile
Show you things that won't be sad
Let me take you there
And I'll show you what fun can be
never say goodbye: My Bloody Valentine

day 26
So now into our 26th day in Argentina. We have visited many beautiful and fascinating places in Buenos Aires over the past month. These include La Boca, Palermo & the Botanical Gardens, Buenos Aires Zoo, Recoleta and The Flower (photo), San Telmo & its market, Plaza de Mayo, Tigre, River Plate football stadium, Porto Madero, and a couple of art and literary exhibitions... the list goes on. There is just so much to do in Buenos Aires itself before you even start to consider the rest of this vast country!
What of the near future? Well, we have 2 "excursions" booked. These are a 7 day trip down to Mar Del Plata, a coastal city in the south of the Buenos Aires province, and an 8 day trip down to Bariloche, which is toward the south of the country on the edge of the Andes (mountainous terrain, lakes etc.). We also plan to make another trip up to the North of the country on the Brazilian border to visit the waterfalls as these are supposed to be rather spectacular. This would also include a hike over the border into Brazil which I am eager to do. As well as this, we plan to go on day trips to the city of La Plata and Colonia in Uruguay (would mean taking a boat). We shall see!
Que mas? The weather has just started to heat up nicely averaging about 25 degrees in the day, but, unfortunately, so has my hayfever, for the second time in the year! Oh well, you can´t have everything.
Anyway, time to sign out.
Loving the food (especially Alfajores), people and culture (and the 24 hour availability of anything!)... and not missing England yet!
