    (Disclaimer: the above is a very slight misquote - the actual quote is “If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito.” but I'm sure he won't mind!)

    I hope everyone is doing ok - especially GP: I need my food photo fix:)

    All is well with DP and I.

    Just caught in a patch of the ennui-marsh at the minute, and have lost my mo-jo somewhat.

    Will be back when I discover it again.

    Sorry.

    Hi GP
    I wondered if you were on holiday. It's in Norfolk isn't it? Are there plenty of birds to watch there? Now keep your feet dry;it sounds very boggy there. :o

    I think it's probably off holidaying with everyone else's mo-jo. A lot of people are having the same problem this week. Hope they all come back soon... I'm off for a brisk walk shortly (to the bottle bank - I like to walk with a purpose) to try to force mine out of hiding!

    Don't worry about us - we'll just starve in the meantime _pale_.

    Be careful of the ennui marsh - watch you don't get trench foot :eek:. Take care and look forward to spring :T.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Hi Greying,

    Made it here eventually. Went looking for your old diary after receiving the KissJ update in my inbox today.
    As her diary was how I found yours I just wanted to say hello given the news.
    A sad reminder of how important it is to live the life that makes you happy.

    Hi Greying, sorry about your missing Mojo, it must be lurking along with mine, I think that my round tuit is off on a jolly with it too:(.

    Take care of you and DP.
