Great, thanks, Chris. Over all too quickly. Didn't take my tablet and don't possess a smartphone so managed to get through 7 novels (and a magazine) without completely ignoring my wife or shunning company.

You might have seen my description of ours in Italy on the PCT. The 3-month drought broke almost as soon as we arrived. The great excitement though was seeing birds almost new to the European list!

Are you a bit of a twitcher? One of my friends when we are at Aberdeen University was really keen. I always felt it was a real shame that he was profoundly colourblind, not just the common red/green form, and couldn't fully appreciate the "beautiful plumage", to quote Python, of many of the birds. At mealtimes I had to tell him which bottle contained tomato sauce and which was brown, as they were unlabelled.

Not a twitcher as such, but we always carry binoculars when we are out.

What a shame about your friend. Perhaps he could have chosen another hobby?

Actually, I suppose that we have been on a couple of bird-watching holidays - both to Costa Rica. Highly recommended!
