It seems an age since our last post. In fact barely a month has gone by, but much has transpired in that short moon phase. The BIG trip has come, been aborted, and gone. Barbara has been in hospitals three times, and indeed today will be released from our local one after a short bout with atrial fibrillation and other associated ills.

Basho & Amanda got married, (we left beforehand because B. was not doing well); SophieJoye gave birth to their new baby, and the world goes on spinning.
