I have no connection problems but even so find it takes ages sometimes to load certain blogs. <BR/><BR/>thanks for comments on Menton. I too liked the black and white photo (with pink) but wasn't sure it represented Menton, with all its colour. It did make the girl stand out tho. Right. <BR/><BR/>Hope your connection problems sort themselves. Jules, the most important thing is to post, not to comment. We all have the problem of time in that regard.Jillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08059152467099868300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924670542270721219.post-86150801605788849192007-11-06T22:15:00.000+10:002007-11-06T22:15:00.000+10:00I love the photo too.

Some put a bag or two on their heads. Just look at the little girls squeaking around Flemington with their champagne, ripper hats and tight knickers. It's nice to be tight on Cup day. Some of us just go off the rails, literally !<BR/><BR/>Being 'out of the loop, the last couple of days', means that when you get back in it, your adoring viewers don't always know the pain and sh*t you have had to put up with.

So what I found myself doing was visiting one blog and commenting on musltiple blogs visible on the page. And I visit back the week that follows or whenever I can. <BR/>I love your blog: it brings exotism and evasion on this side of the globe I am on. But I'd go crazy myself if it took me 3 hours to post something.• Eliane •https://www.blogger.com/profile/17535070160739138725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924670542270721219.post-1748647073303688632007-11-06T14:12:00.000+10:002007-11-06T14:12:00.000+10:00Neat way to think of this photo.
