Jack has become a proper little parrot, which is great fun; although we have to mind our language somewhat!

What with work & weekends away & holidays we haven't been seeing much of our friends in Basel recently. We spent the first week of August catching up with as many of them as possible. Then we spent 2 weeks on holiday in Chamonix & Coutures meeting up with the Copley clan which was just wonderful! We wish we lived closer to England and Hong Kong and Texas and Maine And Illinois ... ... ...

Back to Basel now & I was really sick with tonsilitis, so no chance for a few last meetings with our friends before back to work; c'est la vie :-(
