Update on the Snowy clan's doings

Elder son in the UK has an interview for IT job on 12th May. The job is based in London, but involves travel around the UK and the Continent. Salary 45-50,000 pounds. He had a phone interview which went well, he thought. He's presently in Inverness with his sister, and thoroughly enjoying it. Monday he flies out to Lithuania and Latvia for a holiday with a mate, and then back to London in time for interview, then on to meet up with us in Manchester for his cousin's wedding.  He had to buy a suit for the interview, which was a first for him, but when in Rome (London) etc... We're happy for him.

We fly out to Singapore on Monday, have three days there, then on to London for a day, then to Inverness for a week. I'm rather fond of Scotland, (well yes, Scotch too) as we were there for a few days four years ago, but we didn't get to Inverness. I remember standing beside David Hume's grave in Edinburgh, and seeing a stuffed Dolly in the museum. Both dead, but immortal. I rather like that the sheep got equal time. But I digress. After that, Manchester, Cornwall and London. The week before leaving is always the worst, I think. All the last minute jobs to be done that you just can't put off any longer. The "what have I forgotten?"  phase. Then the "What if?" phase. Finally, you're up, up and away, and to hell with all the doubts. Just enjoy yourself! I love it.

Tuesday night we'll be enjoying a riverside dinner followed by Singapore Slings at Raffles Hotel. Mrs Snowy isn't a drinker, so with a bit of luck I'll get her Singapore Sling too. Sneaky, I know...
