Two weeks ago - Mauritius, 34 degrees, clear & hot - Last week - Cannes, 15 degrees, clear & tepid - Today - Dorset, 3 degrees, cloudy & cold ...
I still managed to spend much of the day on a pebble beach with a good cigar (maybe two!), a good book and my MP3 player - rich with classical music ...
I am rereading the Life of Pi in anticipation of the movie coming out next week ... oh to be an Indian boy (me!) on a boat with a zebra, hyena and an orangutan ... and a tiger (is that me?). It's funny that I have seen all these animals in the wild ... hmm ... anyway so excited about the film ...
This week is set to be a busy one ... a lot of London ... a lot of editing, a lot of meetings and a lot of sake ...
Ending on a sad note ... one of my heroes passed away today. The astronomer Patrick Moore gave me my love of the stars ... space ... and the sky ... I met him a couple of times at the BBC and he was such a gentle fellow ... full of anecdotes and jokes ...
After seeing the Aurora Borealis in Norway and the most amazing African sky in Kenya - this year - I am so pleased I have the habit of always looking up at night to see just what might be out there ...
