    need some winter sunshine....hmmm Egypt, Florida or Canaries this year?
    Ryanair does cheap flights to Lanzarote; around £50 return. Trouble with Florida is that you might end up spending huge amounts of wonga visiting the Space Centre, etc? Or are there cheap things to do there, as well as cheap flights?

      Did the Space Centre on the 1st trip

      Done the Canaries but cheap flights means it's full of chavs (although FV was nice the last time I was there)

      Florida can be cheap - but I hate the 9 hour flight and American Immigration arseholes

      Rather fancy a trip to Luxor this time
      How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

        US - Always fun - long trip
        Canaries - nice places depends where you are gettig cold now
        Luxor - Full of thieving murderous con merchants (sell you too many Egyptian statues and threaten to kill you) Egyptians ( I have business issues!!)

        How about somewhere in Africa? (exc Egypt)

              The colours are simply wonderful at the moment. Last night I was too hungry to wait for food so had a pizza, then cooked at my leisure. The reward was a delicious sweet and sour pork casserole for lunch, and that will do for lunch tomorrow too (having cooked it slowly last night I also I put it on a slow heat from 9 this morning).

              No fireworks here but the dark evenings are a pain. At least I get to travel to work in daylight; that wasn't true in Northern UK and I used to hate that.

                    Too f**king right. Mrs RC & I are going on a 2 week cruise round the Canaries for Xmas & New Year.

                    Can't wait.

                      Summer disagrees with me, there are plenty of things to like about it but the long days and hot nights really screw with my sleep patterns.
