A shout out from the blackout

In a bizzare contrast I am sitting here in a power cut, so no fan or music from the neighbouring houses, and only a wind up torch to stop myself from knocking myself out in the bathroom. Yet , by the wonders of modern technology, I can still connect to the world through the web on my laptop via its extra long-life battery. So no excuses not to work then! Fortunately the power cuts don't seem to last too long (unless this hotel has some uber generator that I haven't noticed yet) so I don't have to adapt my usual life patterns too much from normal. Yet.

And then there was light.

So it's been a few weeks since I left now so I just wanted to give a shout out to everyone who has been in touch since I have been away - by email, phone or the book of face. I have really appreciated the messages whilst trying to adapt to a new job and life. I apologise if I haven't managed to reply to you all individually. Do keep in touch with the life updates, news and goss. Specifically:
- What was all that news about John whatsisname leaving strictly? And has someone won it yet?
- Has the economic turn down actually stopped being headline news yet? I'm quite glad to have got a break from the constant scare mongering, about which we can do nothing. But I spose I should keep up todate.
- Has anyone saved Woolworths?
- Has Tottenham managed to keep up the magic tricks under Harry (Potter) Redknap?
- And what films am I going to miss on the box over Christmas?
I think that might be the most important stuff to be updated on, please.

Let me take this opportunity to wish David and Simone a very happy anniversary - many congratulations!

Right, it's way past my bed time for Tanzania time (GMT-3 hrs, -another 2 hours social time difference), so I'll leave you in peace for now.

Missing the family and chums, so lots of love to you,
Suze
