Thank you everyone for the lovely wishes! I can't wait for August when I hope to be able to hug each of you in person!

I'm really proud to belong to the community here, and get a warm feeling when I talk about you to friends and co-workers and how nice you all are.
Yesterday morning, I was in Liverpools BBC Radio Merseyside doing a pre-recorded interview for a BBC Radio 4 Programme which turned out to be one of the very best interviews yet. So good, that I'm almost dissapointed I hadn't addressed any of those issues in previous ones. Almost feel as though I wasted the last few opportinities. Though I'm not sure when this one is getting aired.
And that night I went out into Southport with a few friends and painted the town red... and had far more to drink than I really meant to! LOL And was greeted by more than a few people who had recognized me from the documentary. As it was Saturday you can imagine how busy town was! At least four of these were people I used to know and hadn't seen for a very long time; one girl I hadn't seen since I was 12! Normally this sort of thing would bother me, and the paranoid side comes out. But, I guess I'm getting used to (and - in some strange way -) enjoying it LOL
Today I've been as lazy as possible. We made the best of this nice-ish weather we've had recently and had a barbacue in the back garden with a few friends, and a few drinks (although I wasn't drinking anything!)
Anyway thank you all again! And I promise to be posting more as soon as I get some more time to myself!

Hope that wherever you are and whatever you're doing that you are having a wonderful day!!
