hello Friend, I have returned from my sojourn on Norfolk Island, which lasted a bit longer than I anticipated. the weather wasn't any better for us there, than it was for you folks here. Hence I just have some pics of the garden on one of the rare fine days. I wasn't tempted to swim in the calm water of Emily Bay, which was too cold for the time of year, but I was able to sit and watch the power of the ocean with a takeaway then back to my laptop. I think I made some progress with my MS; time will tell. Preparations are well in hand for the book launch which will take place at 2.30, on 29th October at the Café Rima, with the lovely hostess Rima to welcome us. Till next time Gen
