Reunion

So good to see the enthusiasm with which Patrick greeted his mother - whoever said the British were unsentimental? This pic is actually a cheat, as it was (shhh) taken on Sunday. But today has been a day of delays, frustrations and moments of extreme irritation, I haven't set foot out of the house, and I don't have the time or energy to find a subject for a blip.

Treacle-slow internet connections (resolved, thanks be, after a long phone call to the provider and some reconfiguration) - visitors unable to access their e-mails - bills to be paid - Sky to be fought with (again) - oh, and work to be done, most of which is still to be done. So back to the grindstone.
