    • Some extra info for anyone interested. We’re in Kefalonia, one of the Ionian islands, which became better known via Louis de Bernières’ novel ‘Captain Corelli’s Mandolin’ and the subsequent film starring Nicolas Cage and Penélope Cruz. I won’t give you the potted history of the island as I’m sure Wikipedia can do that much better than me. We’re staying in Lourdas on the south coast, just below the village of Vlachata and about a mile walk along a meandering road to the sea (it must be very salty here as it’s the only place I’ve ever been able to float in - I’ve never been to the Dead Sea). It’s at the foot of Mt Aenos, which stands at 1628m, almost 300m higher than Ben Nevis, and the peak is often shrouded in cloud. You can see the neighbouring island of Zakynthos very clearly from here. I’m just with the teenagers as Mrs F is currently working (on series 2 of CIA thriller ‘The Agency’ starring Michael Fassbender). We’re having a very low-key week as my daughter just got back from a week at surf camp in Galicia and my son is due to do his DofE Gold expedition in Snowdonia (Eryri) next week having done the practice expedition in the Brecon Beacons (Bandai Brycheiniog) earlier this month and then working at a Forest Camp in Ireland. Consequently we’re all happy to do very little! Here’s a selection of the wildlife we’ve encountered so far (lizard, dead eel, praying mantis) and also my holiday reading. We were visited by a big Labrador type dog last night that tried to get into our pool! That’s all folks!
    • Speaking of losing and gaining weight - and I am not generally one to focus on this stuff at all, given how problematic it can be for people - but Inoue San is looking slender!!
    • All this 220A talk and the news of the mill stopping making the fabric for them makes me want to pick up another pair!
    • In the wash and dryer they went. Haven’t tried them on yet but the waist looks like a potato chip.  raw 41 cm flat  hot soak 39 Washer and dryer 37, but they don’t really lay flat anymore   they softened up a bit too.
