quick update
Right, while I am waiting for Adam Curry's latest podcast to finish downloading, just a quick village fete summary.
It was a wonderful and very "villagy" sort of thing with a tombola, prize draw, slide and games for kids, tea, coffee and cake - you get the idea. Sal at one point said that village fetes must have always been like that for hundrets of years and I think she is right. It was such a small and nice little festival - another good reason to live out here in the countryside, we thought.
On a different note, we enlarged our range of garden equippment and are now the proud owners of another fisherman's chair and (finally) a parasol. Hooray!
More importantly, I have decided to pick up my "Beginning Java" book again (I purchased it back on Nov last year!) and what can I say: "This time it's for real!". No seriously, this time I really want to go for it and blow away those ABAP cobwebs :-) I am using Ivor Horton's book and so far (chapter 5 out of 22) get on pretty fine - I like his style and tone. More on my Java adventures soon.
