Listing seas - far safer than listing ships (listing ships are no joke, haha...)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------







- whilst on the subject (and I'm addressing both of you here) I myself am about to leave these shores for the best part of a relatively short time. Back on May 24. For the sake of us all, I shall be maintaining radio silence until I return. In the meantime, live well, take care risks - and (memo to self) easy on the dark chocolate rice cakes. They may be the healthy option, but not in bulk. Many thanks. Hasta pronto...

can't artists who need
the cash just sit down and draw
a huge salary?...

Dad gave me my just
desserts: lashings of cream. But
it didn't hurt. Much...
