The downside of all this lovely travelling is that when I get home, there are piles and piles of letters, emails and general stuff that needs attending to.

There are three baskets on my desk: inbound, outbound ... and fogbound. The latter is a veritable black hole from where there is no return.

I did have a lie-in today which is very unlike me but I was just pooped last night ... and I think that the glass of wine with dinner didn't help. Over Xmas, Darlin' Jen from LA bought me a bottle of "Domaine Drouhin - Pinot Noir 2007" ... I love it so much that I have bought 2 cases of the stuff ... they need drinking and I am obliging!
