Well Hellaw there! It's a long time since I've been on this thread, so apologies for prolonged absence. The way life is at present, this may only be a one- off visit. Familiar situation though, my mid-night wakefulness is back with a vengeance, having disappeared for a while when OH was at his most ill, oddly.
So first things first, big thanks to KK and to Emma for lovely pics and videos, as always, much appreciated. Being able to pop in to a picspam, as well as to get an almost daily dose of the Man himself via CF or TT, not to forget the repeats on Yesterday, when I have remembered to watch or record them, have been a real tonic.
I notice that there is a debate about how long Matt will continue with TOS. So sticking my neck out to share something that has been on my mind for a while. I noticed the conversation on Tw. about M possibly having a new border collie pup? I think someone saw a tweet that suggested it, but I couldn't locate the tweet in question on M's timeline, so I am not sure whether we came to a conclusion about the veracity of that one. The thing is, when I saw that, I immediately thought 'that means he'll be going home to D within two years'. I just thought, if he goes home to be hands on with the farm, he'd want his own sheep dog, and would need to have her ( I think it would be a 'her' somehow) trained and ready to go. So you see, I got myself mentally prepared for that. Well, I may just be embracing my inner pessimist, but I do feel he'll head north sometime, and Ma B can't go on for ever, even though she seems to be possessed of eternal youth. Anyway, let's just enjoy every moment of his time on the telly that we can. Whatever happens, M usually surprises us with something we had not expected or predicted.
Anyway, good to catch up with you lovely people in 'another place' and just to say again how important your friendship has been over the last few weeks of rather disorienting stuff happening. Now, any ideas for getting an insomniac off to sleep? One I haven't tried already? No, I thought not. 'See' you tomorrow at 6.57,

Could be that I pressed the wrong button - silly me 
Millions of us were glued to the telly - they were certainly good times. 
May be the last bit of unbuttonage on CF we are afforded for several months
