Jeg er i gang med at lægge en del af mine fotos på Flickr (se ikonen til højre med de små billeder) - en del er private, venner og familie har fået tilsendt en invitation til at kikke med på dem. En del- de fleste - er tilgængelige for alle. Jeg følger op på dette indlæg en af de nærmeste dage for at fortælle lidt mere om Flickr og hvordan I kan manøvrere rundt.
Kort kan siges, det er et websted, hvor alle kan placere billeder man vil gøre synlige for andre. Det er gratis for en standard-konto. Jeg synes det er ret så nyttigt at kunne distribuere billeder på denne måde. Man slipper for Cd'er eller mails med attachments og man kan til enhver tid rette i billedsamlingen, så kun de mest aktuelle er synlige. Det er sent nu - midnat eller deromkring, så jeg tørner ind. Jeg er ved tastaturet igen i morgen og fortæller lidt om portvinssmagningen i morgen aften. See 'ya.

Roy Jenkins: "Winston Churchill"
Former British minister for Foreign Affairs Roy Jenkins, has done a great biography of Winston Churchill. A hugely good read, informative, learned without being stuffy, critical of WSC but also mindful of his unique qualities.
Let me quote Jenkins' last few lines from the book: " In the course of writing it (the book) I have changed my mind. I now put Churchill, with al his idosyncrasies, his indulgencies, his occasional childishness, but also his genius, his tenacity and his persistent ability, right or wrong, successful or unsucessful, to be larger than life, as the greatest human being ever to occupy 10 Downing Street.
What makes Churchill an interesting subject is to me the mere fact, had he not stood firm against the Nazi regime in Germany, it is very likely Europe as we know it would not exist today. In Great Britain, as in USA, there were vociferous proponents for an acceptance policy towards the Hitler regime. Churchill's true feat was to give voice to the opposition in UK to these ideas - and against staggering odds to keep the war going until - by a strange twist of fate - Japan plunged the USA into the war. For this he deserves my endless and heartfelt thanks and merits truly the time it takes to read Jenkins' book.
