Glad you've managed to blog again - I seem to recall that you have been harping on at me to do the same! I saw the Sistine Chapel, and hope to walk in Jerusalem in a couple of weeks time. I've also been to the Great Wall (wonderful experience) and Russia (not wonderful). Slept with someone famous - Joan collins. Sat next to her on a flight from LA to London. By Aled, please be careful when you're in Israel. I've been hearing some of the news from there, and it sounds pretty dangerous right now. Thanks for the concern, but I'll be OK in Israel. I'm a long way from the troubles. By You're sweet, Aled. Aled - You are Leonard Rossiter and I claim my five pounds. Interesting! I did this in December (http://joy-babbleon.blogspot.com/2008/12/100-things.html) if you care to check it out. |

Hi, I'm Debi. Once in a while I have a thought and I like to write it down before it goes away. This is where I write it.
