It's so long since I've written here, but I've a valid excuse.  I've been on holiday to Egypt, and since returning I've been suffering somewhat with stomach problems.  Our holiday went well.  The hotel we stayed at was a five star establishment ten minutes coach ride from the airport at Marsa Alam.  Our accommodation was outstanding; Sandra together with Lynda enjoyed their week around the pool; our diving was good and of course the weather was very good with air temperatures of 35c and water temperatures of 30c.  We went all inclusive.  The food was adequate - not brilliant but we didn't starve.  The bar service and room cleaning services were excellent.  We took loads of Imodium to ward off stmach trouble and didn't use them.  Why therefore have I suffered from chronic diorehea since we returned.  It's got so bad that i went to see a doctor this morning and have had to hand a sample in.  I've asked Pete Rees for some strong medicine to hopefully stop the flow and make it possible for me to go to work.  The shop was operated well in my abscence, in fact they don't miss me now which is a good thing.

  I've received some info from the University and will hopefully start up again next month.  I'll need to go down to confirm my module choices but not this week, which is probably a good thing with my condition.
