... Gaddafi storms out of Arab League - although reading this BBC article, it does seems like they just wanted a good headline to hang their "this is who's here and what it's about" story onto.

The team at Travcour have been their usual brilliantly efficient selves. I got an email confirming receipt of my passport last week and an email on Friday telling me that they'd sent my passport back to me, which I picked up today.
Simple.
Thank you Trailfinders!
The website wooden spoon and online security mechanism FAIL goes to British Airways.
I am at my wits end with British Airways - the charming telesales chap has just told me their system has declined my card because of the number of attempts I've made (ie had to make) to buy flights. My bank tells me the card/account is fine.
It is just ridiculous.
Train there and back to spend a couple of days with my dad working on his Dore Abbey website (now up to No 4 in the Google rankings!).
On Saturday we also managed a trip out to Forty Acres to admire the new indoor train set up and continued along the Golden Valley to Peterchurch for a fantastic meal at Food For Thought.
Sunday was a beautiful sunny spring day, which prompted a lovely walk along the footpath through the woods and fields that line the river Wye to Holme Lacy. Our return route brought us back along the old railway line and past the ghost of the village station. Daffodils, primroses and catkins were out, adding yellows and greens to the first buds on the trees.
Very therapeutic.
