... must come to an end. So I find myself unfortunately back in the windswept flatlands now after a lovely holiday which I may write about at greater length some day. (Summary: company, food, scenery and weather all excellent.)

Will probably never catch up with LiveJournal, so if anything interesting's happened that I ought to know about, please let me know by email (or comment here).

I am dying of a rare disease and radishes are the only things that can cure me. Please send me lots of radishes, immediately.

However, I will gladly come and visit you and bring you radishes and avocados. So long as I can share the avocados.

the fact that I can't speak much French and find it very difficult to learn languages

Ditto, but to be honest it didn't bother me overmuch. I got by when I needed to, and by and large I was happy to just be isolated from the vast majority of communications. I think I should become a hermit.
