I think since Bluepooch's sudden death we are conditioned to seeing that as the only explanation for prolonged silence. I agree, some things need and benefit from sharing, sometimes we need more friends, BUT sometimes none of that applies. I'm delighted you are okay SGB, and nosily i wonder if you have moved or plan to .... For myself I concluded there was no point in moving to a new place until there is a possibility of making new friends and a new life. Whilst Boris is inventing rules of the number he first thought of and poor old Jeremy Corbyn is choosing country and western shirts at random I thought I'd stay put, especially as in the South Hams no one has died of Covid for 17 weeks. IT's bit like The Shire. I keep checking my feet.

One thing you do know now SGB is that unusually for a banker you do have friends you've never met and probably never will, who care about you. Amazing this interweb thingy innit?
