Many of us agree with Sue, Nicki.

We consider you rather an old friend that we've had little news of for some time, and we've been wondering how things have been going ... and concerned about you.

Even if you may not be too proud of whatever news there may be ... many of us have been over a number of hills and around several corners during our lives, and it takes quite a lot to shock us.

I hope that you're making a good start on the New Year: good wishes for a fine one ahead.
