I'm now luxuriating in the relative balm of Sandanski, where temperatures managed to get above zero today. I could really tell the difference from sofia where it's -15. Halfway down we stopped for a few minutes and I thought it was nice and warm, I was surprised when I saw the temp was  still only -4.

Thought of you today when I ordered my replacement keyboard, which will have the US rather than UK layout, thank goodness. I'm suffering typing dyslexia as it is.

Hope your trip continues to go well. I'm doing my Pagan dance of luck for you, but rather clumsily as my back has been out. Go back to England with lots of money stitched into your hems (or perhaps that's a tad old fashioned.)

Ciao

Then maybe it is a good thing you didn't get a German keyboard. :-)

oh the worse are the French keyboards.  having to do a shift to get numbers is just crazy.

Not to mention the period and the comma. But I find that relatively easy to get used to. It's the "a" and the "z" and the "w" and the "m" that make it a real pain.

the q and the a reversed?  why?  and indeed the shift for  , and . is totally time consuming.

it is just crazy.

I am crossing my fingers for as we say here "drücke die Daumen" for you and hope it finally works out well for you.

I was checking out Sandanski on the web.  It looks nice and not very expensive.

It's the same as any place, it has good bits and rubbish bits, things that annoy and those which delight.

We should talk ...some other time ;-)

Aren't there some hot springs in the vicinity?
