Reviresco

1. Sometimes, some times some blips come along and - for whatever reason - they just blow my mind. This is one of those times.

2.I am so happy to see Stef and Gilly again. Back from their adventures, we have a packed agenda to motor through.

3. It dawns on me just how much I have missed them - their company, counsel, humour, chat... whatever it is, I missed it.

4. Stef is sporting a brand new tattoo. She has literally just come from the chair. I think it looks cool in this photo but it's so, so impressive in - and on - the flesh.

5. A stag. The animal on the Maxwell clan crest. Yesterday my first presentation started with a story about my name. I stuck with my first name. Today, coincidence, fate makes me tell a second story. At first I can only remember the Maxwell clan motto in latin - reviresco - now that I remember the translation it stops me in my tracks, makes me burst out laughing with its accuracy and draws me up. It means 'I flourish again'.
