Jean Dear,
I wish I could spend an evening back at your page 33place watching you all and giving a bit of cheek to start the ball rolling now and again. Maybe it is reaction after so much excitement but you have no idea how fed up I am with the whole business. Thinking and reasoning gets one nowhere. I'd like to get away somewhere in the hills and lie in the sun alone and just be lazy, maybe waiting for you. Maybe we'll be shifted soon. It would do us some good to get back along the Nile for a while.
