All the best Jo - hope you have a lovely weekend!

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
Went whale watching today in San Francisco Bay and just beyond the Golden Gate Bridge into the Pacific - saw two separate groups of Humpback whales (one of 4 and one of 2) repeatedly blow and breach for about two hours - amazing, enjoyable, and very impressive.
Pick up the car tomorrow, and off to Monterey/Carmel.
As an aside, we're stopping at the Marines' Memorial Club in SF, and they have a Happy Hour 4-6pm every day, where (if you're a resident) the draft beers, house wines, and a wide range of cocktails, are free - God Bless America!

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
My parents often talk about how lovely of America is and l am sure Hugh is soaking it all up over there as there is plenty to experience over there that is for sure.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
Partly a moan, because it means the best manager leaving the office and potentially the company, but my manager who I've had run ins with is 12 weeks pregnant.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
Well I went for a walk in the countryside and ended up where there there were some nice pools. So hot I just had to skinny dip.  Just that mud.
