On my way!
It’s 4 am here, and I’m just about to leave for the airport, bound for Dublin. First stop Sydney, for lunch with the local oookcrossers, then (after the super-long-haul to London) a couple of days with the out-laws in Wales, then I hitch a ride on the witch’s broomstick and we’re off around Ireland for…

thanks for the link to a thoughtful post and appeal for compassionate donations. I am preparing donation envelopes for a Nepal appeal at our church beginning this Sunday. They need every rupee they can get.
