    Hi all

    I've been keeping busy one way or another, and avoiding the heat. I love the autumn and spring. All mist and earthy smells.

    Have been throwing sticks for the black dog but it keeps coming back.

    I'll return with a vengeance when it's gone. I hope good things happen to everyone who needs them.
