Having a long overdue (half term enabled) catch up here too. And I have just added a thread subscription with email notification in the hope it will work this time. Grrrrrr.
Glad you got back safely from your travels BG and hope things improved... loving the photoshop post and totally agree with the sentiment. That said - I'd have been giving her selfies and asking her to do me.
I'm off on a jaunt of my own in just under a month - helping an old mate finally pack up the home she had to leave empty five years ago when her husband fell ill. It has taken this long to sell it (it's in Turkey) and it's going to be an emotional trip as she hasn't been back since they left. On the plus side he's still hanging on in there, though he likes to scare her now and again with hospital admissions, and is currently not in a good way.
Can't believe it has been five years though - where has that time gone? And how on earth did Melony get to be seven???
Plummie - I'd swap your 34 degrees for the beastly cold and damp here any day of the week
KJ - you're giving me the hump
Snowbes - you are the scrabble queen and I salute you xxx

My life is busy and chaotic and slightly hellish but I have health and lovely friends. What more could I want? My sanity... that would be nice... but hey, no-one seems to have noticed that I am utterly bonkers so who cares
