So its back to reality today - I only have a 20 e-mails to open as I have been looking at them over the last two weeks but many more to reply/action and a pile of post. Greek seems very far in the past and as I have not yet found a study buddy it may stay there which would be a shame. Our week in Devon was great, shared with life long friends and mostly in the sun and so was a real blessing despite a heavy cold and a deteriorating knee which I think I may actually have to go to the doctors with ( I don't do doctors - two visits in twenty years is two too many for me!)

A light to the world...if only!
