*squints at time remaining in month*

*squints at appointments etc within that time* Flying across an ocean, tax appointment, physio appointment, possibly dinner on an island (assuming I can get there), and a weekend of hauling Stuff on another island.

Hmf. Looks like I need to do this right now if I want to get it into the usual pattern.


Well, hopefully some of you are around. :)
