So I get every other week, PLUS probably another 2 or 3 days in her week (Well mornings and after school plus when he asks for a play date with his dad). Last time I tallied up my diary I had him for 83% of the year so not bad at all.

I know way too many fathers in the UK that are lucky if they have one weekend per fortnight. (I don't get much work done though!)
That is good to know.I'm pleased for you.Hope things continue to work out for you.

That's the problem! We are constantly weighing up the return option but time is running out, tooth-length-wise.

Hi Arkon. How's the old science fiction stuff going?
You were big on that if I recall.

Good, yes, I'm well into sci fi. In the middle of creating an epic sci fi game at the moment for tablets etc.

Sounds like that "Son of Elite" that was going at one time to take the world of games by storm.

Maybe not at first, but within a relative nano second it will, as it is and always will be!

Glad to hear you're more resigned to being there now Arkon, well more than when I was last on here, stuck on your farm in whoop whoop.

And hi to everyone else!

I've been home over 6 years now which I can't believe, it's flown by.
Bestest of luck to all of you wanting to come back. It's worth it. Even on wet winters days, preceded by weeks of the same, wild horses wouldn't drag me back, unless it was a jaunt to see my friends
