Is there anybody out there?

The annual Microsoft Office outing! 

Yesterday my e-mail was so quiet I almost contacted my provider to see if my connection was working properly - I got so desperate that I was almost praying for junk mail!

We must have reached one of the peak holiday weeks, when we receive more out-of-office replies than we do answers.

Please don't forget that it's our turn next week, and that the Bodega will be closed for one week. I'm so excited I've already packed my bucket and spade!

Have a great holiday wherever you are......
