Well been busy at work and with family, nothing new there I guess.

Have spent more time back in the office as of late and so far so good.

May need to head north to visit/support parents again soon, my Dad looks to be having a knee operation soon as something is not right in the internals there. My mum is still doing ok-ish but dementia continues to take it's awful toll :(

This last week and a half has been tough, a lady I have know at work for about 15 years and worked with in the same team for about 11 years took her life last Monday, the funeral is tomorrow. She had suffered depression etc. over the years and was well supported by my employer and I think her wider family and friends, but sadly in the end we couldn't get hold of her last Tuesday morning and by noon we were all in shock when the news of her death was announced.

So an up and down time for the last wee while for myself and my immediate team mates as we ride the emotional roller coaster that comes with all of this..

So yeah, I'm still about but sadly preoccupied with a few other things than BBSing at the moment.

Nice to be here with you now as I post this and lovely to read a few posts from old and new faces alike :) hey :)

Been cold here, we're in winter now so burning firewood every night and waking up to frosts etc... scraping ice off the windscreen etc. seems nutty when I see TV news and the heatwaves in Europe and USA etc.. take care good friends. send *some* heat my way but not too much! 

Going to get some dinner, will do some network admin in the next day or so.

Hope this finds you well.

Best, Paul
