I could always assemble one of those cheesy YouTube slideshows... pohanginapete - You have daylight savings time down there, too? I'm sorry. Dreadful custom. I actually thought of linking to a slideshow because I thought that might be a better approach for slow-modem readers than waiting for an image-laden post to load. Guess not! Dick - Really? Thanks. You are, of course, welcome to stay here as long as you like, should you ever manage to cross the pond. Peter – Music, eh? I could always assemble one of those cheesy YouTube slideshows…

Here in Aotearoa, of course, we're heading the other way — the clocks went forward an hour last night. (I'd have viewed the slideshow but this dialup connection's just too sluggish).
