Well actually good news 3 weeks.
First piece of good news, after the demise of Kilgoris, we have been allocated another baby elephant to foster Chyulu, you can read her story at:

Second piece of good news both Gill and I have received our numbers for the Stratford 1/2 marathon (for the Shakespeare Hospice at Home Service) on Sunday 29th April, Gill's determined to run it, me I'm the tortoise and will walk all 13 miles, no need to rush and I'm only practicing for the London 2 Brighton bike ride (for the British Heart Foundation), which is the third piece of good news (I also received my riders number). That takes place on Fathers Day 17th of June, if you fancy sponsoring me you can do it on line at:

56 miles from Clapham Common to the Brighton sea front. not sure why they call it a bike ride with 30,000 cyclists you spend a lot of miles walking especially uphill.
Fourth piece of good news is I've finally started to build my garden shed, see pic above, my erstwhile neighbour has welded the frame, which has now been painted and the roof is bolted on, long way to go so don't look for a finished item for a few months with my social calendar, but I will keep you updated as too its progress.
Fifth piece of good news, my birthday continues with a visit to Prague (more pictures to upload) plenty of beer and a few sights to find.
Now some confusing news, especially if your a women on HRT, first they say its bad for you, so everyone stops taking it, then two weeks ago they say if you take the HRT it will reduce the risk of breast cancer and then this week your advised that if you take it your at risk of cervical cancer. Isn't it about time all these so called experts got together and carried out a proper test? no wonder our poor women folk walk around confused all the time.
England's out of the cricket world cup, what a surprise, I suppose they didn't want to be outshone by the rugby or football boys, still the boy racer has proved himself again, good luck to him.
Well its late and I must fly, see you the other side of Prague and don't forget, if you feeling flush you could sponsor Gill or I, you know where to send the dosh and you know it's for good causes, to pay Gills wages and the way I'm going with my cigarettes and all the gallivanting around, I think I might need the British Heart Foundation in due course.
