So much to say, so much to say

Sorry I've been away friends. Maybe in my absence, your heart has grown fonder? Can I hope such a thing?

Mil came back with us from Yorkshire. I left with the dogs three hours before Boy and Mil so that I could get to training. I raced home to clean the filthy flat the best I could before I rushed off to practice. Mil still spent most of her two days cleaning our flat. Sigh. How embarrassing.

So much has happened since we left that I could talk about: my trip, the shopping I've done, Mil's visit, bird flu that has infiltrated -- aye, bird flu is here and not very far from where I live (like 30 or so miles as the crow, if alive, would fly). But no, I will not talk about this, yet that is. I'm going to spend time compiling my photo albums so you can see what I've been up to.

Here's a little something to keep you going. It's interactive. Post your responses in the comments box (I think it should hold it). I don't really need to tell you to copy and paste this following section, putting your responses in, do I? Good, I didn't think so.
