Time for a HOLIDAY!!!!

I won't be posting over the next week as - fisnlly - I am going on a PROPER holiday ( the Prague conference certainly didn't fall into the category of 'relaxation'...). With no internet or phone, there isn't the remotest chance of doing any work....unless I print off a few scientific papers? Somehow I think I will be too busy reading up on the unique history of La Serenissima and just gazing at that magical marriage of light, water and bobbing Gondolas.....see you soon!

Tobacco Uodate: tobacco are still going strong, one is even starting to flower again! ( perhaps I should rename them 'Resurrection Plants'...) The Striga shoots are beginning to dry out so hopefully I can start harvesting the seed soon.
