Hope you are enjoying married life.

I have never had the pleasure of traveling to Canada but it looks like a wonderful country to visit and tour. I also liked this post of yours - interesting http://ngadventure.typepad.com/blog/2009/10/world-class-turkey-now-dig-this.html Thanks

Apple apps can be a very handy tool when abroad providing you know how to use them. I liked Jeremy's comment. Don't know if it quite works like that but I will giving it a go next time I am lucky enough to be abroad.

Good and bad news regarding the UK construction industry. British construction activity contracted for a 21st month running in November but the pace of decline eased and new order volumes rose for the first time since February 2008, a survey showed on Wednesday. The Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply/Markit construction contracts PMI index rose to 47.0 in November, its highest since August, from 46.2 in October. The recent rise in house prices boosted residential construction, which expanded for a third month running and at its fastest rate in over two years. But both commercial and civil engineering sectors reported further declines and employment overall declined for an 18th consecutive month.
