So, after six weeks of shopping enough was enough and I have escaped to the midlands. Three days of peace, quiet, cable tv and a little bit of surfing the internet.

Light all my candles, and burn all my money
Today’s research task – the waltz. From Ask Jeeves we get a list of songs and some music tips, all very high class, and none of them will be appearing at my wedding reception thank you very much. From Google we get Waltz Steps. Perfect, and one-nil to the best search engine in the world. …
