My last holiday was sailing in the open sea for a week. My next is likely to be hill-walking and wild camping in the Highlands on my own. Not adventures in the Amazon, but sufficient to allow me to dis Center Parcs if I want to. I don’t have kids, but if I did I’d put them in a sack and drown them. Staycation like last year, then. At least the weather's nice. |

Rolling - I started going to yoga a couple of weeks ago and have already noticed a difference. I can now turn my head 90 degrees in either direction without any crunching sound or searing pain. It's a revelation.

On the way to the pub I was listening to 100 hits from the 70s, Van Morrison came on and reminded me my favourite episode of Frasier is "Moondance", what's yours? "Out with Dad" for me. Is that the one where they dress up as their heroes? |

Hadley Freeman has picked up on the Queen's coded brooch message story: www.theguardian.com/fashion/2018/jul/18/was-the-queen-sending-coded-messages-to-donald-trump-via-her-brooches-absolutelyI'm not someone who likes to criticise people for their appearance and their sartorial choices as I firmly believe that people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, but I find myself agreeing with Tuffers' kids. I couldn't help but noticing the crumpled jacket that Trump was wearing to meet the Queen, and I was thinking that I don't know much about etiquette but that I was pretty sure that one was supposed to close the button. I'm less bothered by the weird orange tan, what really freaks me out every time I have the misfortune to see the man on television are the pale circles around his eyes where the sunbed goggles go. Who would look in the mirror and say: "This is exactly the look I'm going for"? |

Not adventures in the Amazon, but sufficient to allow me to dis Center Parcs if I want to. Fair enough - I always thought the same about folk who went to Center Parcs, but for a family holiday - you know where you want to relax but maybe get some fresh air and exercise it's a good option. As for the middle class, the accents/dialects on display here this week don't seem particularly middle class. Anyway. Fighter jets train around here and fly surprisingly low. |

The curry house at the one I went to was a bit rubbish, but other than that I thought it was decent in terms of stuff to do. I had a stinking cold though and was hallucinating on Day Nurse, so my memory of it all is a little hazy. |

How on Earth did you read what I wrote and respond reasonably? I deserve to be pilloried as an asshole for writing like that. Shame on you. Not just you, the other polite people as well.

I'm on holiday. I'm in a good mood.
With regards to sailing - my lottery win yacht plans changed when I got a small boat from Monaco harbour and felt rather queasy.
In other news, I've not had any fizzy pop since Sunday. Of course I've had more booze than usual but if I could manage to at least reduce the amount when we get back I'd be happy.

Wild camping is basically no sleep, no wifi, and wiping your arse with ferns. I'm sad that Shenguin will be holidaying like a Dickensian urchin.

We beat the other place to the punch, so called journalists We wouldn't have comprehension issues either and mistakenly report that one brooch was worn by the Queen at her father's funeral when in fact it was worn by her mother, but I suppose it's all in a day's work at the Guardian. |
