Now that I am all set up, I can get back into the game of reading, resteeming, posting... ;-) I felt quite disconnected for that whole week! Maybe it's not a bad thing but it did make me realise just how much time I do spend on the Net!

Mick could not stand being lost. I teased him mercilessly about it. Once, I went on a "by-myself-weekend". When I came back, I told him: "Know what I did while I was out in the Townships? I took a road that I had no clue where I would end up!" Needless to say, he responded with a "hardy-har-har..."
