Oh dear - I thought I'd mentioned that I'd be off for two weeks vacation. If I did I can't find it - so my apologies to anyone checking in to see what's new. Not a lot.

Still, a couple of weeks away from it all has been refreshing [1] and although there's lots to do on return I did at least manage to not be completely overwhelmed with email by logging on once or twice to delete the junk and answer some of the personal and/or fun things that had arrived.

The only snag with that is that it leaves all the dreary worky drossy difficult stuff to deal with. Only 50 to go now after a day at it but it doesn't look as though I've missed a great deal while I've been away.


[1] wore a wet suit for the first time and am sold on the things. For protection against cold and sun and severe sand exfoliation - not to mention buoyancy and pose value - they can't be beaten.
