I have to apologise to my readers for the long abscence -- the world outside of this little corner of paradise threw a wobbly and I had to rush off to South Africa with very short notice - in fact, no notice at all!
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who gathered that I had no internet access during that time and sent good wishes and support by text -- what a godsend the mobile phone is! It has been enormously heartwarming and encouraging during a stressful time - thank you!
I am back now in the Dordogne for ten days and return to South Africa again in a week's time -- just enough time to organise what I had previously thought was a rather uncomplicated life! No such thing! Even I am amazed to find how many commitments I have accumulated around me in my new life in France!
My biggest regret was that I had to renege on my commitment in the Netherlands last weekend -- (my speech was going to be brilliant!) and I put the organisers -- and good friends into a last minute spin to find a replacement -- I very much regret that! -- and then that I have to put my little cat in a cat hotel for the next two months -- Putin! (I know -- but that is my spelling and I am sticking to it!) I should have taught the cat how to use mobile phones and I would at least have been able to keep in daily touch with her by text!
And then there is a return ticket to Fez plus a week's hotel accommodation going for anyone who is willing to take over my lectures at the university for the next two months?!

Hallo Red Shoes,
We all missed you terribly at the ITC-PTW 2006 but understand that life has its challenges and they have to be dealt with. I give you my support in coping with the challenges that you are facing you.
However, we still hope that ITC can ever hear the brilliant speech that we missed, “Soaring with Wilkipedia”. Maybe in Brisbane?
Greetings,
MaryPickFlower
