Oh my...so sorry...

It has been a while hasn't it?

I really have no idea where-in-the-hell to start, but let me say I/we have not been slacking off so much.

Thesis is done. Signed, sealed, delivered, it's theirs! Boy has been able to catch his breath, take stock, catch up, and just be. For the first time in about four-and-a-half years he is his own master. Sure, there are still projects, groups, and commitments but I'd say there is a very different energy that he is able to embrace. It's good!

Job contract is all but signed. The terms are acceptable, and there is a delightful ease of mind that we will be on our way to the life we have dreamt of in the not-too-distant future. Mid-summer will see a change of scene and the beginning of a wonderful adventure. Yay!

The past month has been one in which we have become more familiar with the inner workings of the female reproductive system than I think we ever thought possible. It is both wonderful and slightly nauseating. Watch this space - we might have a whole other kind of adventure to announce soon...

"Cryptic" I know - but this is the way of the world is it not? Things reveal in their own time, and to rush the course of things faster than they are ready to be revealed is to miss the subtlety of life itself, I feel.
