Thanks. Yes, I'm trying to stay positive, must say my partner has been very supportive. Not sure what my plans are, considering a return to the UK, living elsewhere in the States, as California real estate has gone sky high in the last 5 years ( bad timing and luck on my behalf) or just staying put and getting on with it?? As other people have suggested you need a car, it's easy to drive in California as everything is on a grid system.

I thought Tom was horribly disfigured until I realised there was a patch of dirt on my computer screen.

If you don't mind I'll send you a PM tomorrow as I'm dying to know where abouts in LA you are and if you're up for it I'll be more than happy to show you around.
I've just returned from the most wonderful weekend in San Francisco with some people we met from this site (Bored-Silly, Wintersong and Leedsgirl) so after too much booze and suffering from a stinking cold I really need to go to bed now..
It would be great to hear from you Trying to work out how you lot are related to eachother.
