Empty your mind. Be formless, Shapeless, like Water.
Put Water into a cup, it becomes the cup, put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, put water into a teapot, it becomes the teapot.
Water can flow, or it can Crash.
Be Water My Friend.

Linden u muppet, I got back on Tues (ok, there's no way you could've known that but you may have developed telepathy as part of your Jedi training).
Greece was great, I certainly "lived my myth" if it's mythical to sit in cafes, walk through old Athens and wath Eurovision Song Contest rehearsals. Just like Odysseus eh
I think there should be a Balls! trip to Greece, though maybe not Athens. There were lots of locations where we could've gotten great spinning pics but I, unfortunately, didn't have anyone to take pics 4 me
Next time maybe

Hey honey :-) so nice to speak to you... I feel like some kind of exam-hermit cave-dwelling creature, barely seeing the light of day! 
so it's soo nice to speak to people!
The 'r' word is progressing, although slowly! But halfway there now, *whoop whoop!*
I'll try and get out, maybe over the weekend, and get a swimsuit so I can come swimming with you next week, I could really do with the relaxation and some exercise, feel all squishy!
Will prob be coming on Sunday for a wee while :-) fingers crossed for the nice weather,,,,
Big love honey! 
PS - I owe you strokage!
