Weather wet. Hounds well. Went to see St Trinians tonight - with Rupert Everett and Colin Firth. An enjoyable and light hearted film with a battery of sly injokes at CF's expense, even going back as far as his and Rupert's "Another Country" which I realise (to my horror) is probably at least twenty years old. My, where does the time go? Speaking of wasting time, my Stat Counter is now proving most illuminating in analysing numbers of visitors and other bits of info. Who is the person at Cardiff Council who spent half an hour today looking at my blog at 11.30 this morning? A mystery prize for further info.... The stats do not throw a particularly cheery light on local government productivity. Furthest visitors so far are from California, Ohio and New Jersey so a warm welcome to you. Cannot yet compete with my cousin who has regular visits from a Chilean. On line of course, rather than in real life, although there would be nothing wrong with a Chilean turning up at your door, especially if he was bearing wine. A hat tip here to said cousin for pointing me at the website for the software download. And for his delicious recipe for vodka martini. Honed, I might add, after valiant field testing and lengthy refinement. That's the kind of dedication to high standards that is an example to us all.

House is now un-decorated and looking bare, but tidy.
