It seems like an awful lot of people are suffering from the same thing—and quite a few losing their voices, too. Makes it difficult to write (the computer screen looks like a Petri dish); or talk, without blowing somebody’s ears off. Apart from that—all well

It’s been a very long time since I spent the day in bed. But I’ve picked up a rattling, barking cough and a thumpity headache. Apparently it is doing the rounds—which is no consolation at all. And I’m not a good patient.

What I woke up to. Just when you think it can’t get more surreal here. They’ll want to ban Arthur Miller (The Crucible), Harry Potter, Wednesday and even reruns of the wonderful Bewitched (which had Dick Van Dyke and Elizabeth Montgomery). What a load of complete Warlocks!

@EverestToday I was privileged to spend some good times with Ed Hillary back in the 90s raising money for his charity. Have also met Chris Bonington, Dawson Stelfox, Joe Simpson and Doug Scott - legends.

@AlexKane221b But is it a Christmas movie :) I remember at the time back in 1988 American friends writing (remember air mail letters?) raving about this action movie with Brucie from Moonlighting that they’d seen during the summer - we had to wait 6mths to Feb 89 to see it at the Strand

The third leader from today’s Times. Shops may be ridiculously early, but some film channels have been scheduling Christmas movies since mid-June (and I’m not including Die Hard, which turns up somewhere once a week).

Despite my sodden jeans, mangled hair, trying to keep the lens clean and camera dry and somehow stand up.. I managed a shot in focus. 🙈 #belmullet #comayo #ireland #stormerin RTs as always very much appreciated. And thank you for your continued support.

@AlexKane221b For all the bustle and ‘richness’ of Montreaux the views down the length of the lake always seem to have a peacefulness about them that is very different than Geneva or Lausanne - a great sense of space (Archive/2015)

I loved this sculpture of a boy climbing a ladder. It’s on the lake front in Montreux and is titled, ‘And if my marble was the moon’. Something very calming about it.

Reichenbach Falls today for my 70th birthday. Sherlock Holmes has been a constant in my life for almost 60 years. Life is good. I love and am loved. I’m actually looking forward to new challenges over the next decade. Not bad for an orphan boy who struggled to find his voice : )

I did it! Dunnet Head, the northern point of mainland Scotland, bringing to a close a fantastic three month adventure, walking the cardinal points of the country. A fascinating journey of 999.68 miles. 😊
