Life..

...continues fine. And every evening I go and sit on the beach with an ice cream and watch the sun go down: I find this a remarkably civilised way to round off a day in the office. I have various half-finished posts in my head, including a particularly rambling one about class, but am currently too drunk (first time on Jersey, hurrah) to set them down. And tomorrow evening I fly to Gatwick, go into town to pick up my luggage for Greece, return to Gatwick, and catch the 6AM flight out to Athens, so it'll be a while.

When I'm back, the usual diet of half-thought through pontificating on politics, philosophy, history, religion and books, drunken ramblings, and general life-stuff will return with me. In the meantime, if you think of me with a cigarette in one hand, a book in the other, and frappé, retsina or metaxa depending on time of day in, err, the other, either lying on a beach or clambering over some ruin or other, you're most likely pretty accurate. See you on the other side (or on the verandah of Villa Onyro the day after tomorrow if you're Steph or Rob).

That sounds nice and relaxing. Have a good vacation, Marcus. :)

The Jersey idyll

As a Gerald Durrell fan, I made a point of visiting Jersey in 1998 to see his zoo and despite cycling from one end of the island in darkness on a bike with no lights to get to where I was staying, survived and enjoyed it. Good to hear you are too. Have fun in Greece!

The zoo's fantastic isn't it? I particularly liked the family of monkeys which more or less have the freedom of the park (and by consequence the island) but have obviously decided that they have it good and have stayed put :-)

Sounds like you're having a good time in Jersey. Have you discovered the LampLighter pub yet? It's a gem.

Hope you have a nice vacation.
