Noticed your last bloggeau activity was 72 days ago. Not good. Hope you're doing okay. Would be nice to know how you're getting on, mon brave. Toodle pip and if I don't hear from you beforehand, have a jolly old Noel et Hogmanay.

Of course I'm not exactly alone ! Too many itchy decisions to take and mainly dealing with the way each person sees life and humanity.<br> <br> So I spend 1/3 of my time making emailed reports just to get a family circle over half the world to decide ... how to deal with all this. Local concepts seem, of course, so middleaged to me. My strategy to go out for results must be so fine and rehearsed with cultural screen changes before revealing it in what must appear as normal, evident simpleness to be matched where lies and silenced deeds used with much more facility to rub differences.<br> <br> Conforting to read the line on spelling and best friends unique bond.<br> <br> all the best for you and your dear ones.<br> Yolitag:johnhamiltonpalmer.blog.co.uk,2008-04-28:/2008/04/27/you-know-you-went-to-an-international-sc-4101428/#c6669292montontonjon2008-04-28T01:08:42+02:002008-04-28T01:08:42+02:00And I think we've settled in London, but who knows. Back in Miami at the moment dealing with shippers and containers and insurance, then it's off to a remote hideaway with Paul (who gets itchy feet too). Planning to return to London when the furniture gets there. And not a moment before.tag:johnhamiltonpalmer.blog.co.uk,2008-04-27:/2008/04/27/you-know-you-went-to-an-international-sc-4101428/#c6668560frankofyle2008-04-27T22:13:02+02:002008-04-27T22:13:02+02:00Interesting posting. Know whadya mean. <br> <br> I'm no jetsetter but I've been around. As the son of an army officer I was born in England but immediately moved to Austria. First language I spoke was German/English/Scottish. Then moved to Gibraltar aged four. Spoke Spanish. Hit England aged nine. School hols in Africa. Had itchy feet ever since. Twelve schools, four colleges, countless jobs and homes. I think I've settled in France... but not sure. Still have itchy feet.<br> <br> Howya getting on a Londres?<br> <br> P.S. - When I'm pished I natter in a confusing mixture of different lingos, all of them totally incomprehensible. Am fluent in jibberish. Liver confounds science. <br> tag:johnhamiltonpalmer.blog.co.uk,2008-04-27:/2008/04/27/you-know-you-went-to-an-international-sc-4101428/#c6667451montontonjon2008-04-27T20:10:00+02:002008-04-27T20:10:00+02:00Glad you liked it. The original article was much, much longer. In the end I decided to reprint only the ones that I related to most. Some of my cohorts got up to much worse, and behaved rather shabbily, I'm afraid. One contributor begged us all to remember the days when we would have had to send for the chauffeur to bail us out of jail. Naturally, I have no memories of the sort. I never had a chauffeur.tag:johnhamiltonpalmer.blog.co.uk,2008-04-27:/2008/04/27/you-know-you-went-to-an-international-sc-4101428/#c6667380montontonjon2008-04-27T20:00:25+02:002008-04-27T20:00:25+02:00Personally, Ian, my own liver has kept its waspish figure, although it's a good job I'm not licensed to drive, as my post-sundowner slump is best suited for the backseat.tag:johnhamiltonpalmer.blog.co.uk,2008-04-27:/2008/04/27/you-know-you-went-to-an-international-sc-4101428/#c6666537Stephanie Barr2008-04-27T18:26:54+02:002008-04-27T18:26:54+02:00My nomadic youth was all in one country, the US, but, since I work in a technical field, I know many people who either grew up or were born overseas.

Nodded off in front of the telly... again. Very pleasant nights a ce moment. Clear starry skies, touch of frost and a full moon tonight.

I hope you and Paul are well and I'm delighted to hear of your sunny move to a more suitable climate. It's so damp and dreicht in Scotland at the moment, I'm considering a flit myself but alas, I have far too much baggage....and I'm sure that's a good thing but still, one can dream.<br> <br> Are you on Facebook? I find that to be my cafe of choice for a quick soiree these days. If so, I'd love it if you looked me up.<br> <br> Take care!
