Driving from Swanage to Bournemouth. The wonderful Brian Blessed Satnav of Awesome has told us to "TAKE THE FERRY - THEN OFF TO TREASURE ISLAND!!!". We think there may have been a "me hearties" in there somewhere, but we were both too dumbstruck for our brains to take it in...

Okay, my iPhone seems to have decided to die on me for no obvious reason. It's plugged in to charge right now, but doesn't appear to be doing much except sitting there with a black screen and a smug silver Apple logo staring at me. I'm hoping that while we're down here we might at least be able to find an O2 shop and ask them to sort it out; and to be honest, as I've now had it for three years on a contract that was only meant to last for two, I'm thinking of asking if I can maybe have an upgrade to an iPhone 4.

Anyway, until further notice, can anyone who needs to contact me please call Sarah instead. If you don't know her number, drop me an email and I'll let you know it.

On the basis of "just because we can," Sarah and I have just conducted a conversation using Apple FaceTime. We are, I feel I should point out, in the same hotel room as each other and indeed about three feet away from each other, but what the heck, it worked. Hearing each other's voice echoing in triplicate was truly bizarre...
