Yes, I'm sorry I wasn't able to make it to Andrew's. But I had thought there was still time for me to feed you - you only made your surprise appearance three weeks ago and I thought you'd said you'd be in the UK for five. Did the plans change, or did I misunderstand them?

Oh well. *hugs*, and hopefully we'll meet again at some point...

You were right - I was supposed to be in the UK for 5 weeks. Unfortunately shi* hit fan wrt work and I felt I needed to be back here to protect my back. So I cut it short by a couple of weeks. Figure I'll need those hols after dealing with the current stress levels pending and after one day back at work getting a feel for it all I'm convinced it was the right decision. I'm a bit miffed at missing people though <-:
