  • Thanks for the reminder about such things. Sorry to hear about this fire and hope it's out quickly, keen-eyed Kate. And hope you're doing well. No, hope you're doing brilliantly and sure you are. xxoo

    • All but the Casitas were out rapidly. This is just a reminder of what is to come. I am doing quite well ... Even brilliantly, as you are I know!
