Good Evening Stringers 

I haven't read back yet.Hope everyone is ok here.

Sorry for not letting anyone know what was going on.I had a sudden opportunity to take a much needed real break and I took it .

Sorry I didn't have time or the technology needed to make contact and catch up with those in the West while I was there .

Hi Iza. welcome back!

none of us knew what happened to you

I'm glad you had a nice real holiday, good for you. sometimes it just happens like that, spur of the moment things are the best IMO

Hi Iza!  I did wonder where you had got to.  I hope you had a good time.

Hi Deb and Joono, I did have a really good time thanks.It was really weird though good to just be me without any responsibilities for anyone or anything much else .

Good for you. I could do with a break like that 

Gee we had some really hot weather here while you were away

it has been hot in Vic hasn't it .I'm glad that it has cooled down now.Everything is so very dry

yeah, the weather's been quite nice lately,  but very dry in central Vic

I had better go and do something about feeding the masses here.
