I'm doing something rather stressful and I need a cup of . Can I impose on you for a bit?

PS

Please mind your head.

Anytime my dear. Do you want to move to my in-box? Would IM help?

What sort of would you like? I have everything from Builders' Tea to Green Jasmine, via just about every Hippie Tea you can think of. (Oh and the head is ok - it is so-o-o-o-o lovely when I stop!)

I can't get IM at home. My home pc is all broken and rubbish, I need a new one, but there is so much on this pc that I don't have discs or codes for anymore that I keep putting it off. IE doesn't work properly on it anymore either.

We missed each other last night, I must have caught your eyes as you were going offline. I do feel better this morning, but I haven't got to work yet. Any kind of will be fine, as long as I don't have to make it! I do miss BS, and his eagerness to make me .

If you are in a really rough way, Ms Emily Mangle has my phone number stashed in her emails, if nowhere else. Give me a call.

Sorry that our 'conversation' was a bit one-sided yesterday. A visitor that I'd forgotten was coming popped in to see me and David (my colleague) and I had to pay attention.

It's been very busy at work, people keep phoning me up . With Peta away my work load has gone up a fair bit, and I haven't got anyone to 'consult' with! I've got to have a week off before the end of March, I think I'm going to need it!

Thanks for the . I'm not going to be in the office today, so I'm going to try to forget those emails dropping into my inbox with alarming regularity and enjoy my 'research and development' day. I hope!

If you're ever in London, give me a shout! We can do it in the flesh.
