Apparently Banksy put this Star Wars parody up in Melbourne in Australia. Funny.
Holiday time
My big holiday this year was to the US. Firstly I took a boat from Southampton to New York. Then a train from NY to Boston. And lastly a plane took me to Toronto. The weather was great, except on the boat. Boston and Toronto are very nice cities well worth a visit.

If you want to use the object containing __enter__ then you have to return self there. You should not create a new object and return it.
Podcasts
Here are two great podcasts that make my ride into work more enjoyable : Astronomy Cast History of Rome Well worth subscribing to.
