Haha, yes they seem to be having a warm spell! 
Avenging I'm not too bad thanks. Not bored, just a bit lonely as ds went back to uni in September, so I've been on my own. For the last month apart from work/food shopping I've only been able to see people outdoors. petalpower and I have met up for an outdoor takeaway lunch every week though, and I have seen another friend for coffee in the park.
Work has been busy and still lots of change, but fortunately I have this week off, and ds comes home on Friday.
Hoping to do a few more scenes this week (keeps me busy).
