I'm sure this was taken this week in a place called Helston.

Go ahead and make me even more homesick if that is possible, Like Derry we too had many holidays in Cornwall and Devon, I just loved it, today I would love it even more.

And yes - I wish I was there right now!!!
Oh C-mon, lets not talk about The DOC, saw the last episode Thursday night, Just loved it... dissapointed the series seemed to go so fast... time to rewatch them all for the umpthteen time.

I'm sure I'm not the only who is planning to visit Port Issac when they return, its on "THE LIST"...

O.K. Cheers why dont you post us that Cornwall webcam, Id love a look... I enjoy the lakeland cam and catch it when my memory kicks in... it really is beautiful... and the Abbey Road cam, it still gets me, so many try to copy that Beatles walk, the traffic there, it must drive them crazy...

Thanks Fish

Yes I look at the webcam daily. Do you look at the Lake district webcam?

Yes - I look at both. I think someone on here posted the link - may have been you or else Sally. The weather is definitely better in Cornwall and Devon. The Lake District is very beautiful but it gets a lot of rain.

At least you have seen Series 5 of Doc Martin. My PBS station doesn't show it so I have to wait until June when it becomes available on DVD - I'll probably get it from Netflix as the DVDs are expensive - although I did purchase Series 1 - 4 from Amazon last November on Cyber-Monday sale - I got the lot for $38 for all 4 series, which was a great deal!

After you live in the same o same o deseret for so long I don't think I'll ever complain about the rain again. Its like manna from heaven (what ever that means?)

OMG and I thought we had the slow PBS channel...

$38 is a great price as they ask that and more just for one season, you did well.

I wont say another word I don't want to spoil it for anyone.

This was due to the number of people taking Monday off after a heavy weekend. We had one person working who did that several times, in the end he was referred for counselling as to his alcohol usage, and eventually it was suggested to him that he might wish to find alternative employment, he wasn't sacked, but that was the way he was warned.
The last time I visited the doctor for being off work ill was back in November, I was off for 3 days and asked him for a certificate, he told me it was the "law" that you are allowed to self certificate for 7 days and did not want to give me a sick note, he said if my employer had a problem with that, to phone him.

In Australia it is normally the company you work for who dictate your self certification days, generally 3 and over you must have a certificate - any side of a public holiday it is mandatory and either side of a weekend is common too, again though it all depends on the company you work for and how flexible they are.
