My first experience with a big ferry boat was crossing from England to France back in 1973. I was seasick before the damn boat was even untied. I don't mind so much traveling by boat although I'm not crazy about long distances - again, feel the tremendous need to get off it. I can't stand feeling confined. The tunnel would bother me because of its length. I would freak out being in it for so long.

Do you think that hypnosis can cure claustrophobia? I've never thought about it. A little leary of being hypnotized too...

I'm not afraid of flying Jackie - I panic when I'm confined and can't get out. Even on a jumbo 747 which is huge and you can walk up and down the aisles forever. Haven't the slightest fear of being in the air or of the plane crashing. I can't get off it. So I'm trapped. That's what gets me.

Shite!!! I almost locked myself out of my room just now.

I decided to get room service tonight instead of going down for dinner (the curry last night was great, by the way). I just wanted to put the tray outside, and forgot that the door has one of those hinge-thingies to make sure that it closes behind you... I managed to stick my big toe in the gap just in time.

Bloody good for room service - rack of lamb with gratinated potatoes & veggies, plus a greek salad.

Fear of ferries (sounds like me latest book).

It came on about 12 years ago after coming back from France in a force 8 gale and I vowed never again. Then I thought I'd give it another go 6 years ago going to and from Belgium I just wasted the whole time fretting about getting home and ruined the weekend.

So it's the lesser of two evils flying.

It's a "hybrid" greek salad, I guess - greens (with a bit of rocket), tomato, bit of onion, lovely soft rich feta, calamata olives, grilled aubergine and a bit of avo, with a EVOO & balsamic dressing.

Tomato, cuke, green pepper, onion, olives, feta with EVOO and vinegar and a light dusting of oregano. THAT is a classic Greek salad. What you had sounds mighty tasty tho'. I love the grilled aubergine. Don't know what rocket is...

Yo Mrs A.

Just had a very angry daughter on the phone. They're thinking about closing the child heart ops at the hospital where she had her hole in the heart done. Methinks a campaign is called for.

BBC News - Hospitals to be told to 'stop child heart surgery'

BTW the title looks as if they're going to stop all childrens ops. they're not.
