Default With thanks and with apologies.

Time to make ammends: Having been more than active on B.E. for some months, I found myself having to do a quick exit to deal with things going on around me in the real world.

This occurred in and around the time of my birthday. I had a quick butchers a few days ago and saw that a Happy Birthday thread had been started for me...and to which I hadn't replied. So thanks to all the well-wishers and apologies for appearing not to give a t...

I wouldn't dream of boring you all to death with what was going on in my real world (I will and have bored you enough with other things) but just to say that things are slowly coming back to some sort of status quo.

Thanks to all those who did join in the fun and indeed those who provided the fun.

I was lucky enough to be generally enjoying my new life in Oz so didn't really need any support but I know it would have been there if I had needed it. I was happy to help where I could.

Thanks to Alfresco for taking up the vacant Mod position. Thanks to Sue (if anyone doesn't know, she's our WONDERFUL admin lady) and thanks to Polly (Extra - Super Mod) who put up with all my questions by PM.

Time is still the enemy so not sure what I'll be doing on BE for a while.

Alistair.

P.S. It's still raining, garden like a swamp. And the immi forum looks really simple as usual!

It's great for you to pop in. You have been missed.

As Polly says, give us a shout if you need anything and hopefully you will be back for good.
