Winky, sounds like you missed me hey? Yep it's been a long time indeed, I've been very busy lately but hopefully things will slow down in future. All's well down south but Marcia's in Brazil to visit her folks so I'm baching it 'till the 15th when I'll fly down also for a couple of weeks of fun in the sun.
