Now that is a marvellous view - I have stayed at that Hilton many times but have never been blessed with such and wonderful car park view.

The Holiday Inn at Dunstall Park came through - finally. I even managed a rubbish bin. Life does not get any better than this.

In other news Griselda tells me I will qualify as something called Diamond with Hilton again when I complete my Coventry stay this week. Not sure if that is good or bad. Also does 1.5 million Hilton points mean anything?

I believe it entitles you to a free standard muffin*, with your first coffee purchase, on your next consecutive 10 night stay on a non-corporate rate at any Hilton property in East Africa.

Sadly not so PERfect today :( Situation is rather grim with reports of homes lost. This morning fire fighting choppers en-route to assist. Currently, that's all smoke, not clouds as shown in the third image. I'm about 30kms away and ash is falling in the area.

Edit: just heard that a friend who lives in the area of the fires has lost her home :(

We have just heard that our friend living at The Vines, next to the golf-course, was evacuated at 03:00 this morning.

Sorry I’ve been busy smoking some venison to pull and making the corn fritters featured a month or so ago - drron is correct- came away with 3.8kgs of blueberries @$12- kg (+ the free ones eaten while 3 of us picked.... )
