Yes Judy, Daniel was born in the hospital where I worked. We hear their music played almost daily on our radio and they were very popular in Canada when we we there.
I don’t envy you walking along busy roads. I used to hate the sound of traffic going by when on rambles, although our walks are mainly through country side. I noticed you have blue sky as it was here yesterday with a temperature of 22 degrees. Warm for us Brits.

I liked Savage Garden – I guess it’s a sign of my advancing age that I enjoyed their music because I could undertand their lyrics! So your friend’s nephew would be Daniel? Just guessing, as he was born in the UK.

Actually, we got it wrong, Ron. The bridge in the photo isn’t the Eiffel, but was built at around the same time as Eiffel was doing stuff – 1887. The Eiffel bridge is a bit further west towards the coast and we’ll put a photo of it up soon. Feet are good now thanks, although they still look pretty terrible. They don’t hurt when I walk, which is the main thing.

We were talking with friends about the Australian Olmpics yesterday and could not remember in which year it took place, so thank you for the info. Our best friend has a nephew in the group SAVAGE GARDEN who played at these olympics.
Walking on cobbled roads must be a strain on your back, not such as easy walk as last year. The rain and cold doesn’t help. Margaret.
