My dearest, I'm around, it's just that "blogger," my blog service provider, crashed and has been down since yesterday afternoon, and so I (along with countless other bloggers worldwide) was unable to post. Also blogger deleted or misplaced all posts that had been published since Wednesday morning, which for me meant that two have gone missing, possibly to be restored by them at some point, but who knows. I just returned from a walk, and found to my relief that service has been restored, so here for just a moment I am. I'll be back later with a proper post. Til then, I think of you too, darling, very much. All my love & many kisses, and hope your day has been going well. XOXO
