Thanks all of you.

Aiviza - I pulled out some art supplies and it was a great distraction for the time being. You are motivating me to pull the project out again and do some reworking.

Perhaps a reason I cling to him is that I am otherwise isolated. i don't know anyone else in the city which is new to me.

Indulging my senses could be an answer. Chinese food sounds just the thing for tonight and I haven't had a bubble bath for eons.

Thanks friends!
