Over three weeks of catch-up...

Don't worry - I don't think you have missed anything earth-shattering. I have been looking for work, which is exhausting and frustrating, but have now got a temp contract - so should be out of mischief for a bit at least.

At least the weather in the UK has been better than family and friends have been experiencing in Cape Town - snow angel!

Sam has been enjoying Jenga in the garden, and reading to granddad.
