A Special Decade...

               -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

               I'm at an age now when I'm not even sure if some of my 

               favourite memories are of events that actually happened, or are 

               just highly enjoyable recurring dreams. Did I really find myself 

               in some weird and wonderful places such as Vanuatu, Paraguay, 

               French Guiana...and yes, Fray Bentos? Was I really fine dining 

               in Antarctica? Or giggling at Galapagos's blue-footed boobies? 

               It would seem so. And it also seems I'm still here to tell the  

               tale (not that anyone would listen). Forever grateful, especially 

               to all those who helped me along the way. Happy anniversary to, 

               er, me - and equally happy travelling to the latest generation of 

               intrepid backpackers...

NINE kids now, Boris?...

                           There's a fan of Sir Keir who's called Hazel

                           Who I suspect that one of these days'll

                           Trip over her toes,

                           Fall flat on her nose,

                           And rejoice that she's now just as nasal.

                                            I, too, shall be building a DOME,

                                            That'll hover just over my home.

                                            (I can't afford GOLDEN,

                                            But to Trump I'm beholden.

                                            For conceding it could also be chrome)
