I haven't fogotten the Blog, there are more postings to come. It's just that I am on holiday from a holiday, if you get my drift.


Chrsitine and I are sitting in a very nice chalet half way up a mountain in the French Alps, just a short walk from Mont Blanc, well it would be short if you didn't have to go over two other high peaks to get there.


We are having a break from our four weeks or so in Barcelona with Alex and the family and have met up with Chris and Gwen from back home for a short break, it's a hard life this being retired.


When we explained to the grandkids that we were going on our holidays Amber immediately says "Your always on holiday, Grandad, you are retired". "Retired!" I say "You obviously haven't read Grandma's Pink Black Book". She just looks at me puzzled and wanders off to her computer, signs on to whatever messenger service it is she uses and her social life is once again in full swing.


But now with the help of modern technology and the fact that I am becoming more conversant with the ways of the internet I have managed to pre-date this to appear whilst I am away. Of course if it doesn't work then this excercise has been a complete waste of time.


If this posting doesn't appear I will do what all good project managers do, simply blame the IT department. It may not be their fault, they may not even know about it but get the blame in first and you are half way to passing the buck. It always worked in the past.
