Je suis en Martinique!

I was going to post a vaguely long entry, but the AZERTY keyboard in this internet café (which took an hour of wandering around Fort de France to find) makes typing a bit of a pain. Instead I'll type stuff up on my iBook to post when I get home. Brief summary: Air France long haul has bugger all leg room. My (younger) sister's new boyfriend is 30 years older than her. My family are very t00by (we've discussed Blair/Chirac, and my aunt and mother are perving over Johnny Depp). Am staying a literal stone's throw from the beach. The local insect population seen to equate my blood to fine champagne. Much sun and heat. I am le tired.

Have skimmed some of my flist, but won't be reading much until I get home on the 13th.

Sounds like you are having an excellent time, other than getting bitten by the local wildlife.

*is jealous*

Also hearing that about your family, it explains a lot about you :p

Yes, the Rigby-Joneses are a pretty zany bunch...

Excellent! That's the way families should be.

Especially when they have kids with OCD

Indeed. Much better to have a family who are a constant source of amusement to me. Hmmm. I think I need an "insanity in my family" icon.

I think you have an icon which informs you how you should react to le tiredness :-)

AF's leg room may not be all that bad - it's just that you're somewhat long!

Yes, but I've used that one recently!

I guess it didn't help that the guy in front reclined the entire flight - also, the interior was certainly the oldest I've ever seen on a long-haul 'plane.

I doubt you'll have much time for reading when you get home either - your mini-Mac is sat waiting on your desk ;-)

Good, good - although naturally I checked the shipping status on the Apple Store site when I was on-line last week...

Many thanks for your letter from Martinique, by the way! It arrived while I was away in Boston (ain't that the way for us jet-setters...?) but I didn't get to open it until much more recently. Very much appreciated!
