Thanks for the good wishes, Dev; much appreciated. However, I suspect that by the time the process is finished my brain is going to be so thoroughly scrambled that I`ll be more in need of a good frontal lobotomy than good luck. There`s no doubt that moving house does get more stressful as you get older, especially so if it`s the first one you`ll have made on your own. I can see the problem in dragging yourself away from Totnes as well. Lovely place. Are all the bookshops still there?
Dancing is absolutely right, though. Sometimes, once you`ve decided that it`s what you want to do, you just have to bite the bullet and do it. Short-term pain for long-term gain and all that. I once read a comment by Mark Twain to the effect that when we look back in 20 years` time we`ll be more disappointed with the things we didn`t do than the things we did. I reckon he was right and it would be nice to think we`ll all still be around in 20 years to prove it.
