It amuses me (since I re-posted the Archives) to trawl back through my diary. The previous Blog (Thinking Allowed) stopped after 9/11, so this one goes back to late September 2001.

A lot of pain over those couple of years - physical mostly - but it's all down to an occasional ache now...

It does amuse me to find all those links; to see the first meeting with HR last December (when Pete H was still OK, and up for a visit); my first contact with Aurelien (such fun we had in Paris); the adventures with Keili; what to do when your partner goes away on a world-class holiday for a couple of months - while you have a funeral to go to; etc, etc.
