I am humbled. As a representative of the "across the pond and down a bit self-professed Hollywood of the East Coast" I am honored by your appreciation of our small town's contributions to maintream television.

Sadly, I have never seen a whole episode of either show myself, but I hear wonderful things.

I am back home after being away for more than 12 days, trying to dust the house, and do all house chores.
Hard job, cleaning the house especially in summer time!

Tomorrow working again for a couple of hours, till the next trip. Till then I am cleaning AND dreaming of what is coming next!

Currently in Cape Town, South Africa - trying to avoid the "unusal for this time of year to be such a down pour" rain. But enjoying being here!

I am in my flat in Dublin, contemplating tidying it, while blatantly 'playing' on the internet. Not a nice day in Dublin today - looks like the clouds are going to burst very soon...I'm so not going out...!

We are in Fuerteventura -Corralejo right now.
I expected it to be very hot, but was surprised because it was cool in the morning and cold in the evening.
I have already been out walking to get to know the city and surprised about the nice climate. I was walking for 3 hours, had lunch, and I am now enjoying my cup of coffee. We have -all inclusive - so we don't have to bother going out for food.
No plans today, just relaxing after so many days of traveling around.
The hotel is great and I will try to book a car to get to know the whole island.

I am sat at my laptop (where else, Elaine, my partner would say!) at home in the picturesque fishing village of Çiftlikköy, close to Çeşme in western Turkey.

Looking out beyond the screen, I can see hundred of yellow melons growing in the adjoining field and just beyond across the Aegean Sea and the cloudless sky to the Greek Island of Chios. Actually, I'm stretching the imagination a little here. I would need to stand up and lean through the window to see the sea!

So, not too far away from you, as you know, my Greek friend.
