Yes, Yes, Yes… I know, I did promise my parents that I would not do any “surfing” while on vacation, but heck it’s very difficult not to take a peek at my emails irrespective of how much of a good time I’m having; besides I did pack my laptop, so I might as well use it! – Oh and yeah, I’m having a great time here in Chicago, slightly scattered clouds, but it has been a change from my usual London weather.

For my rather small gathering of readers on this blog, I should just like to let you all know, I’m still around, well not really as I’m on vacation until September; but I have not gone away, a few more days here in Chicago, then it’s off to do some travelling around, France and Germany!  I hope your vacation is going well!
