Keep an eye out for me on the BBCA social media sites making a face - I was just photographed as part of an "Americans eating Marmite" project they're doing in the kitchen. At least, they told me it was for the blog...

It was an amazing moment, to be in the presence of greatness and to be caught up in the emotion of all the people there. He meant so much to so many.

But Marmite is TASTY!
I was introduced to it by (to tie so many discussions together with geography) a South African woman decades ago, and have not looked back.

I am onerous tasking it up. Called to make a dentist appointment, but they can't squeak me in until the 30th. Now I must call my doctor and my optometrist.
