Katy, Ben and I went to the lakeside just before New Year’s to see if we could spot some of the fireworks from Lausanne or Vevey.

Blue Man Group, Lausanne, January 11
Kodo – One Earth Evolution, Geneva, March 14
We’ll need to get the child some ear defenders, but I think he’ll get a kick out of both shows.
And, for the grown-ups only, an evening of burlesque in Geneva this coming November.
When we were young…
And carefree, and had hair.
The gang’s all here
Trip to Isle of Wight
We spent a week on the Isle of Wight. Ben drove the ferry on the way there. We bought gin, wine and liqueurs. We saw a funky chicken. We handled owls and saw birds of prey. A ferret walked Bean. We went on a steam railway and looked at a train museum. We saw the coloured sand of the Needles, the coastline and the lighthouse. We saw glass being blows and sweets being made. We went to a donkey sanctuary and saw lots of donkey penises and a horse with an itchy ass. We saw a model village. We went fossil hunting and saw dinosaur footprints. We went to a dinosaur museum. We heard Benedictine monks sing a mass in an abbey. Then we went home. About the only thing we didn’t really do was relax.

Thanks Pops
Katy has the unfortunate habit of kissing things with the car bumper. Most times, it’s not a big deal. Last time, with a cement column…less so. It took about 15 minutes of cursing, but I managed to get all the brackets realigned and the bumper back on. It wasn’t that big of a job, but it made me think of my dad. I don’t have anywhere close to his mechanical skills, but I’m also not afraid to get my hands dirty. And I got that from him, as well as the importance of a decent set of tools. So, thanks pop.
