Excellent - clouds, silver, etc.

I'm jealous (especially of the ex ... btw, do you want him sorted when
I'm better?) Pity about the 20kg limit - you'd barely get Stort in
that, certainly not me.

Almost as much of an adventure as me taking Jan for an Indian lunch to
celebrate our anniversary last week ... since our local curry shop
closed we have to make a 108.6km round trip. But who's counting?

Bon voyage ... I'll think of you doing a Gracie Fields impersonation:

Wish me luck, as you wave me goodbye.
Cheerio, here I go,on my way.

Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye. 
With a cheer, not a tear, make it gay.

Give me a smile, I can keep for a while, 
In my heart while I'm away.

Till we meet once again you and I, 
Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye.

Wish me luck, as you wave me goodbye.
Cheerio, here I go, on my way

Wish me luck, as you wave me goodbye.
With a cheer, not a tear, make it gay

Give me a smile, I can keep for a while,
In my heart while I'm away.
Till we meet once again You and I
wish me luck as you wave me goodbye.
