Hello. Because of a slight admin problem I’m not sure the picnic blog will be posted successfully. This will all be sorted tomorrow. But I am posting this just in case. This hardly counts, I realise. But it maintains the unbroken record. You understand. I am of course in Portugal. It’s lovely.

Olá Mark – still in Portugal?

This is Corry, Marks sometimes helper. Alas the picnic blog got held up in the wonders of the internet somewhere and only arrived in my inbox today. It is up now, hope you all enjoy.

Your dedication for keeping the record never fails to astound me.

Picnic blog is typed up and awaiting posting, replete with it’s hyphens, ellipsis and questionable syntax. Honest.

Order’d your book today
(I think that counts as changing the world for the better)

Ah, leaf-depositing, with its handy hyphen. It was indeed an excellent word. I myself am particularly looking forward to ‘noms’.

I hope that the picnic went well. Sorry I couldn’t be there.

I am rather excited for the picnic blog. I am waiting for my starring role with the word ‘leaf-depositing’ (am I allowed to say that? It’s sort of like a little spoiler for you all. Don’t say I’m not good to you).

I’m an idiot, I read my clock wrong and its only eleven, not midnight.

I rushed in and got home after five hours travelling with one minute before midnight hoping to find the picnic blog.
I must say I’m rather dissappointed, but I wouldn’t have finished reading it before midnight if it wasn’t this little one.
So positives and negatives.

Ded. I. Cation. Well done.
P.S. The world cup final was fun.

I hope the picnic blog gets up successfully! I had a brilliant time and hope you are enjoying the hols. Are the Portugese pleased or annoyed at the World Cup win?

Kudos for doing an emergency blog from holiday – a perfect little mini-blog of 52 words. (Have you been watching the match too?)
