Let the double entendres begin! Today is July 2nd 2009 -- the midpoint of this non-leap year. Welcome to Hump Day 2009! One hundred eighty-two days of 2009 lie behind us now, and one hundred eighty-two lie ahead. Now might be a good time to re-visit those New Years resolutions and goals to see if you're about halfway done with them!
With just sixty-four hours left before I need to depart for Japan, I do not have time to prepare a proper half-year in review at the moment. However, I think that putting one together may prove just the thing to break the monotony during the twelve hour flight to Tokyo.[*]
In the meantime, I should also note that in about thirty-three hours, we will have achieved aphelion 2009. That's right: Up here in the North, the Summer heat may be a'blazing... but we are at about the point in our orbit that is furthest from the Sun!
Finally, for no good reason whatsoever, we have.... a poll!
[Poll #1424257]
[*] I know, I know. Everyone is just so riveted by the thought of reading my half year review! Indeed, it might prove revolutionary in curing insomnia!

we'll be back from Scotland on the 19th July so with regard to getting together for a meal in London, some time after that date would be good. Himself has no further travel (unless anything crops up meantime) until September once he gets back from Brussels tomorrow (as you are probably aware, the EU pretty much shuts down in August and goes to its collective summer place in the hills of Tuscany or Provence or the Buda Hills, or wherever).
Btw we've discovered a very nice, very traditional French bistro in South Kensington- reason it's so good is that it's frequented by French Embassy staff and it actually helps to be able to speak the language! :o)

I object.
Everybody's free (to wear sunscreen).
Or one of these:
Everybody knows. Everybody knows. That's how it goes.
Everybody, come on, dance and sing, Everybody, get up and do your thing.
Everybody needs somebody, sometimes.
Everybody needs someone that they're gonna believe in. Everybody's the same around the world.
Everybody's gotta learn sometime.
Everybody seems to wonder what it's like down here.

Re: I object.
Nice set of additions you have to the list, Sweetheart! (And, for the record, I came close to adding the sunscreen one to the poll...)
