Marcher, I swear if I ever make it to Australia, you will suddenly find me at your dinner table :-). I know I've threatened that before but it is still in my thoughts and hopes.
Chuff, I don't think anyone was offended and I certainly wasn't! I think some of us are still a little touchy about the risk of potentially losing our sober lifeline and connection to many friends. Dear Toots said it all so well. Enough said and let's just get on with the important stuff like warm friendships and staying sober :-)
Busy day ahead! I overslept, sigh. Looks like a gorgeous day here. Sunny, temps supposed to get into the 50's this weekend and I think I'll chuck my other plans and go for a walk. Have a lovely day Marchers!
