What a nice thread!

Good things for me? Well - I just got my air tickets for a trip to Pensacola, Florida. Work, not play - but it'll be nice to leave this grey old town for a week or so. Any 'catters there next week, Wednesday through Sunday...?

And there's another set of air tickets in my bag for when I get back, to go to England partly for work, (again) but also to see my family - Mum, daughter Tedd and bro Keith in Brighton. Should be good fun - also on the agenda is a reunion with some friends I haven't seen for 20 years or so. This expat life has advantages, but you do tend to lose touch with all but immediate family after a while.

And it's Friday!

Good luck to all...
