Thanks for all the help. The MC question is still a really tough one. I'm getting all sorts of advice left, right and centre on it! If I don't email I'll be in the wrong because I didn't email. If I email I'll be in the wrong because I'm encroaching. I am falling on the side of not emailing though. After all I did actually tell her the time during the conversation. Had quite a tough day today. My sailing was cancelled due to lack of wind so went to the city to go shopping. It was a nightmare. Memories everywhere. Smily, happy people were everywhere I looked too. I felt like I was an island where the world was flowing around me and I couldn't connect with it. Then it got a bit windier so I went back to try and do some more sailing. After that I went to see some japanese drumming which was very cool. I am running out of GAL ideas so any tips would be gratefully received...
