    Definitely up for joining you on some walking of that coastal path - and loving some of those other plans too!

    Your dinner with DD sounded lovely - I've never eaten Japanese food aside sushi!

    Good to have you back anyhoo - and also to hear that you've FINALLY jettisoned the silly work levels - about time too! :T:D

    Yay glad you're back! And of course glad you have cut back on the unfeasible working hours - even if it does feel very odd. Looking forward to reading about many more stripey adventures!
