  1. What a great eurohoon, thoroughly enjoyed the DTM at the ring, and got
    through 5 x 4 lap tickets : I was going to buy some new tyres, but not this
    soon.

    Passo Della Stelvio - awsome. 23c at the bottom, minus 2 at the top with
    snow. That is some road !

    Other assorted passes in the tirol, italian alps, swiss alps etc - equally
    awsome.

    17th C family run hotel in Cocconato - stunning - built into the hillside
    with tunnels and walkways to get to your room. Great food and really
    friendly hosts.

    (Dribbling Numpty Alert)
    Turning ones ankle over on the last step outside hotel le cheval blanc in
    Barcelonnette on thursday morning - not so great. Was really fucking painful
    last night, but now the swelling has stopped and the bruising has started
    its not too bad at all, it just looks like its done 5 rounds with tyson. I
    guess its not broken as I can walk on it alright ?

    Kept bumping into these little furry critters whilst walking on the Col Du
    Bonette : http://s56.photobucket.com/albums/g195/dwbrown/Bonette Sep 07/
    Rather proud of the photo's.

    Indeed. SWMBO had some close encounters with the Marmot kind in the
    Pyrenees a couple of weeks ago.

    That sounds like it is worth a visit.
    Clumsy git, put an ice pack on it.
    Rodents are not appealing.

  7. Certainly is, the walk from reception to the rooms took you along

    Lovely place which I will visit again, one of those gems that you discover
    by accident - but are so happy that you did !

    Aye, birds eyes finest did the trick yesterday, amazed how quickly that
    bought the swelling down, its just purple now !

    Trying to keep that fat feline that is so pleased to see me after 10 days
    off of it overnight could be a problem though.
    Aww, I beg to differ, I thought they were cute - big as well - about the
    size of a small dog.

    Very territorial as well, as soon as you walk onto their pitch they start
    calling each other and keeping a good eye on you.

    Did you like the CD ?

    I've saved it to my travel folder.
    My siamese decided to gently pat me on the nose at around 3am. When I
    ignored her there was a tap with a hint of claws, when I ignored that
    I got a full on hard swipe, so I caved and let her have the pillow!
    Have you seen the teeth!
    In places, yes, thanks again. Definitely like to hear some of it in a
    club atmosphere.

    Purrsephone, the Forest cat just plops down on your head.

  10. Our tortie (Poobah) does that..
    The senior kitten (well juvenile - he is 7 months old!) likes to lie on
    my chest and tap me on the chin. At 3am. He has *huge* feet. With big claws.

    Kelda is much better behaved - she just curls up on the bottom of the
    bed and sleeps through the night.
