Only The Briefest Of Blogs This Morning,

as we are off to the islands,

first thing Phil called round for a few cups of coffee, just as he left Mark called round for a chat, mostly about Roman silver coins, after that I popped upstairs to clean some of the track that I had got glue onto,

then Joe called round, so it was some more cups of tea and a chat, by then it was quite late so downstairs for our evening meal, we watched the news, it is so sad the plight of Filipinos living in the path of the typhoon that struck it, luckily Diana's family live 2 hours or so away from Manila, so they were spared,

then it was feet up to watch The Haunting, a spooky film, the castle used was Belvoir Castle, Belvoir in Leicestershire, but as well as being stunning from the outside the inside sets were magnificent, and the film even managed to make me jump! off to the islands now, bye!
