dear all
You must have thought I had fallen off a cliff edge ......or been eaten by a crocodile. Within a week of my arrival in Australia on a 10 week trip I fell ill to an intestinal parasite. This caused severe problems for me and....to be delicate.......it caused me to lose 2 stones in weight and I have still not recovered. The parasite cannot be eliminated with antibiotics and it may go of its own accord; or it could be with me for the rest of my life. Suffice to say, most days I could not be far from "facilities". Much of the first 3 weeks I was either without Internet or where I had access it was as slow as what you might have remembered from the 1990's and very expensive.
Anyhow, I am back. My photography has been very.....shall I say......understated and I sometimes go weeks without picking up a camera. I am just starting to learn to live with my limitations and go out when I feel it is safe to do so.
My apologies for going absent without leave, especially in respect of the comp I was supposed to moderate. I will have a look and comment on the result I see has been kindly dealt with in my absence.
It must have seemed rude of me not to have come forward earlier.
Once again, my apologies and I look forward to being back amongst friends.

Hope you can at least enjoy upping your weight now you're home, lots of milkshakes and cakes
