I am now back online, a bit, and v-e-r-y- s-l-o-w-l-y----. <BR/>Really enjoyed reading this post. I'm glad you are in a good place, several places in fact! I've often thought that your 2 jobs sound just the perfect places for a creative soul to hang out whilst earning a bit of money: nurturing of soul and a good way to top up the creative well too. For me they would be like being on a permenant artsit's date... lucky you!!!<BR/>So glad to catch up again. Missed you, you beautiful person!
