No greater pleasure than the Sun dehydrating your skin and a book supping your idle mind. A comfortable deck chair, breeze & drink a bonus.
Last day in Italy. I will not be dining tonight as I have little enough money for the long journey home.
We leave at 5am tomorrow. Joy!
The problem with the TheTimes.co.uk is not the content. Or the paywall. It’s t/ readers that write comments. Nearly all defy logic & sanity.

“To see a world in a grain of sand And a heaven in a wild flower Hold infinity in the palm of your hand And eternity in an hour.” - Blake
Sitting on the hotel balcony listening to a William Blake audiobook. My senses are overloaded with gorgeousness and gorgeousity. Bliss!
#PromoTweet: the 5KM walk was made easier by a free @MonsterEnergy.
And the 120KM drive was made easier by a free @redbull.
Thanks guys!
Back at the hotel.
Enjoyed the F1 race, but was rather uncomfortable.
Anyway, wish an Englishman won.
Italians LOVED Hamilton crashing.
Come on Jenson! http://post.ly/x630
One hour until the lights go green! Resting my numb bum on the grass and chatting with other English about the weather & price of food. #F1
Recapping today’s practise session on TV.
Very tired. 5 hours of driving. 3 of sitting.
Tomorrow, qualifying! Hoping traffic isnt bad.
Sitting on the balcony and reading a great Esquire article on Frank Sinatra. You should join me: http://bit.ly/aZreML
Back at the hotel. Currently watching the amazing array of thunder and lightening on offer here at Lake Garda: http://post.ly/wa3k (video)
Finally arrived in Lake Garda, Italy.
My friend Sam INSISTS we get pizza or pasta. I’m too tired and just want, well… whatever.
Working our way through France. Will try to find a place to stay once we arrive in Switzerland. One with wifi. This tweet is costing me £86.
Everyone on the boat is in uproar because the newspapers aren’t on board.
I’m the smug one in the corner reading the Times on my iPad.
Arrived at Dover to catch the ferry to France.
Just seen a hotel with the best name ever: ‘The Grand Shaft’.
1 mile in to a 900 mile drive to Monza, Italy for the F1.
Weirdly nervous.
Compulsory first iPad tweet!
Anyway, I’ve got an iPad!
It was the first 3G they’d activated! Shows you much of a small town I live in.
I tried 6 numbers, @O2. I was desperate to give you my money. But no one answered. Not even a robot. You can ALWAYS rely on Orange.
Research in flies suggests being hungry may provide a way to stay awake without feeling groggy or mentally challenged: http://bit.ly/dtCHMf
Supporting #NonLeagueDay. Final score: Leighton Town 2 - Leverstock Green 3. http://yfrog.com/htkrfdj
Good morning!
Not a Sylvester Stallone fan? I wasn’t really. Am now. Tony Robbins tells his story: http://bit.ly/9FYYfa (audio/video)
Also: what’s wrong with Rooney not playing beyond defenders and scoring? He was great tonight. Basically assisting 3 goals. Great playmaker!
Eng. notes: As a Chelsea fan, it hurts that Lampard or Terry didn’t play. But Eng. did better w/out them. Still think Terry should play tho.
I’m not majorly patriotic. But when I hear a stadium full of Englishman sing the national anthem, it always gives me goosebumps.
Also: Joe Hart is so awesome I would let him impregnate my sister.
And the women didn’t say ‘dickhead’. She did it with hand gestures! Ha.
Highlights of the England match: Goalkeeper Joe Hart playing keepie-uppie.
Women in crowd calling Glen Johnson a dickhead live on ITV.
