away from home..........

so a few nights in Toronto away from the misery in Calgary - the Flames were dumped out of the Stanley Cup last night & there was a palpable sense of mourning in the city this morning.

so a chance amongst the work to meet the Ginger Prince and his delightful g/f and spend a night or two in the urban sophistication of downtown Toronto

the flight across tonight was interesting the old boy in the neighbouring seat regaled me with tales of his time in London with the RCAF at the end of the war - a really nice old chap & it made the hours shrink

well as i type this Tony Blair is getting a right old kicking in the UK local elections - i can still clearly remember thecam euphoria when he won in 1997 cool brittania & old that - well right now he must be just about the most universally unpopular prime minister in years

i bet eating canapes & drinking champers with the Gallaghers seems like a long time ago now for Tone & Cherie
