It's a Public Holiday on Monday ... so the roads, railways, airports and ferry ports are stretched to breaking point.

I have not joined the throng, opting instead for a homecation ...

Feet up, in front of the television ... a cold beer, pizza ... ahhhh .... heaven.

This time next week I will be preparing for Abu Dhabi! Whoo-hoo! The weather there is still looking good ... "hot during the night, VERY hot during the day" ...

Next week we are starting the edits on the Scotland and Canada shows.

In one of the properties in Canada, La Pinsonniere, I managed to knock over a bottle of red wine. I was hoping that this was not caught on camera ... however ... see below, it was! Oli (editor) has apparently got a whole day's worth out out-takes ... hmmm ... NEVER to see the light of day!

Song of the Day: Woops Now - Janet Jackson
