She used to light up my screen but, ever since her birthday (Oct 21), NOTHING.

I sent her a Christmas Greeting, but NO RESPONSE.

I wonder if she over-indulged on her birthday bash ... Or what?

Worried of Hove

Dear Bryan,

Don't worry about Jem ... she's just taking a well-deserved holiday in
a wonderful region of this world with a warm climate, far away from
the cold and misty British Winter. :-)

Regards,
Scriptor

Bryan!! :) :)  How lovely to hear from you (thanks to Leli for the heads up!)

I have been lurking around but have been mega mega busy since 21st
Oct.  Will post an official Christmas answer shortly.

Scriptor - haven't jetted off just yet but am almost there - LOL!

Phew!

What a relief!

Have a great time ...

But, please, send us all a postcard and let us know where you've been.

Many thanks Scriptor & Leli for doing your stuff.

Hiya Bryan :)

Have been phenomenally busy over the last 2 months, particularly as
the nature of my business is somewhat cyclical and autumn & winter
tend to get quite busy.

Additionally, I started a science degree (part-time) this autumn and
that's been keeping me rather busy, too!  Just got one of my first
exam grades back - organic chemistry - 82% - woohoo!!  Very pleased
about that!

When it gets as busy as this, I only really get a chance to browse GA
every couple of weeks but as you can see, we have our ways of keeping
in touch :)

Now, some Christmas treats for you before I jet off:

1. Official hand-drawn Christmas greeting from....me!  Okay, I know
the perspective isn't quite right and you might not even be able to
identify some of the objects, but I think you'll get the heart of the
message:

2. Check out what's happening at Santa's Village:

I visited the "Naughty or Nice" shack (top right hand corner of the
page) and here's the feedback I got:

<<"Nice" with a few naughty marks for excess TV. Also had a tough
month back in February, but has shown real "nice" effort ever since.
Beware of not cleaning up kitchen messes and forgetting to say "thank
you." Very nice job of kissing everyone "good night.">>

Hmmm....no comment......

3. When the icy winter winds of London start biting, I check out the
weather in Santa's part of the world and suddenly, I don't feel quite
so chilly:

and finally, what Christmas wouldn't be complete without your very own
dancing snowman - check him out here:

I'm particularly fond of dances 1 & 3 :)

Merry Christmas Bryan and best wishes for a sparkling New Year!

Marvellous .... Many thanks for your news ... And have a really
fantastic time ... And if you ever want any help with your science
degree, please do not hesitate to ...

Ask Google, of course.

Kindest regards

Bryan
