Blair believes in living on the edge where there’s not much room but his appetite for risk did not include a run on the water slide after a period of contemplation that would not have embarrassed a Zen monk

After all that natural beauty we needed some junk food to reset the balance: well Idaho potatoes in Idaho Falls seemed just the ticket except Hugo says they are sourced in MaineMeantime , undistracted the birthday boy seeks to compare his pet frataxin sequence with that of the bat: but that’s another story.I’ve suggested he try his luck at a novel funding strategy – better odds than the NIH
Almost like Salvation, almost like the Blues

Magritte clouds, bats, rats, wines, a novel funding strategy… i am enjoying so much this unique flow of images, culture, history and nature. Fantastico!
In the end I had to turn to Emma Teeling – the bat guruette at UC Dublin

The water looked extremely inviting , especially after a long day on the road .
Wow …. those clouds , have you encountered any rain .?
