Update on the Snowy clan's doings
Elder son in the UK has an interview for IT job on 12th May. The job is based in London, but involves travel around the UK and the Continent. Salary 45-50,000 pounds. He had a phone interview which went well, he thought. He's presently in Inverness with his sister, and thoroughly enjoying it. Monday he flies out to Lithuania and Latvia for a holiday with a mate, and then back to London in time for interview, then on to meet up with us in Manchester for his cousin's wedding. He had to buy a suit for the interview, which was a first for him, but when in Rome (London) etc... We're happy for him.
We fly out to Singapore on Monday, have three days there, then on to London for a day, then to Inverness for a week. I'm rather fond of Scotland, (well yes, Scotch too) as we were there for a few days four years ago, but we didn't get to Inverness. I remember standing beside David Hume's grave in Edinburgh, and seeing a stuffed Dolly in the museum. Both dead, but immortal. I rather like that the sheep got equal time. But I digress. After that, Manchester, Cornwall and London. The week before leaving is always the worst, I think. All the last minute jobs to be done that you just can't put off any longer. The "what have I forgotten?" phase. Then the "What if?" phase. Finally, you're up, up and away, and to hell with all the doubts. Just enjoy yourself! I love it.
Tuesday night we'll be enjoying a riverside dinner followed by Singapore Slings at Raffles Hotel. Mrs Snowy isn't a drinker, so with a bit of luck I'll get her Singapore Sling too. Sneaky, I know...

You men - my husband does that too. Orders a bottle knowing I will have only one glass so he gets the rest!
What a great adventure ahead of you. How exciting!
Yes, we're looking forward to it. I'll take lots of photos so you can share.
Tracked my nephew down he isn't in Inverness any more, he is now in Glasgow.
Your trip sounds grand I hope you have a blast! I can't wait to see your photos.
A suit will do your Son well in the IT trade in London, I suggest matching scarf..it's bloody cold when it wants to be.
btw, you men always trying to pull one over. too bad steve can't do that. since i ALWAYS finish my drinks. ;P
I rather like that the sheep got equal time.
The 'bottle' of the sexes
Very good, my friend. Many congratulations to your son and I hope you pass on Worker's advice about the scarf.
As for the rest, I know you'll have a lovely trip and be sure to have a Singapore Sling for me,too!
And, hey, all I ever want is half a drink anyway -- think of it as doing her a favor!
Thanks. It'll be one or the other, Rinny.
