Galaxy,

Hi there ! Thank you for your message the other day, seen when I zoomed on to check on Baby Softie's imminent arrival and off again. (Hello again, little Bobby !)

Forgive the delay in replying but the length of time I can spend online for pleasure nowadays can be measured in nanoseconds. Have been going through a Horrendous business period with betrayal, litigation and all round grief but we're getting through it...I hope. One of those times when you wake up thinking "What the hell is TODAY going to bring then ?"

Aiming for a time when we get our lives back. But SO glad the season has kicked in... not a bad start. FF and I will be tuning in to Metro every Saturday night and tuning out the rest of the world for a couple of nail-biting hours.

Galaxy, your brief message literally brought a lump to my throat with its kindness and its timing. Still looking forward to meeting you one day.

Love to all, specially the old elite, (you know who you are !!) and yourself and Yelli. Bud Wiser is in town, hope to meet up with him soon.

Howay the Lads....not a bad start, eh !

Great to hear from you Val. I guessed from last time you posted that there was something `big` afoot. I really know where you`re coming from - sometimes when you are trying to run your own business there are periods when you wonder just why you do it. My hubbie`s going through a tricky patch with his exporting company at the minute, but we`re toughing it out, as no doubt you are having to. Hope things go well for you, and that once you`re back on an even keel you`ll have a bit more time to yourself, and of course, the marvellous BBS!(:o)

Hang in there lass!(:o)

Val, I called into your office yesterday afternoon, as it appeared you were in a meeting I did a swift U-turn.

I don't suppose you and FF frequent the "San Francisco Bar", which looks to be the nearest "watering hole" to your office? ;-)
