The late afternoon storms were spectacular in their ferocity.  The evenings warm and balmy. My three week holiday (well, almost 3 weeks) ended last Wednesday (2nd May). When I left KL international airport at 22:00 hours the air temperature was 28C – warm and balmy. After 20+ hours traveling – KL, Bangkok, Cairo – London – the air temperature on arrival at Heathrow was a mere 10C.  And it was gray and overcast.  And England has been gray and overcast, and raining pissistently, ever since.  So why the hell did I come back to Britain?

Actually, ‘why the hell did I come back to Britain’ is a stupid question.  I had no choice other than to come back.

At last, the truth is out. My old mate, Lord “Lucky” Lucan has been alive and well and living in Gabon but of course, I was sworn to secrecy, so I couldn’t tell a soul.

Did the closing scene in the last episode of ‘Sherlock’ on BBC  leave you wondering how Sherlock managed to survive his suicidal fall?

Well, thanks to the lovely Lara Pulver (the actress who played Irene Adler in episode 1. shown on 01 Jan 2012 ) who I follow on Twitter, the mystery has been solved.  Would you like to know how Sherlock managed to survive?  If so, click here to find out.  Enjoy

I am busy revamping the look and layout of  my blog site.

So, until I get it done and start writing and posting new stuff, here’s a test blog for you to read.  And when you’ve read it and understood what it’s all about why not compare and contrast and post it in a comment :-)
