An awful lot! But there is no journal evidence for this!
Leaving here now as a placemarker and will return soon but I cannot bear to see such a gap between posts when so many great things have happened. Life is full though, not just coffee and making the time to come here and share some thoughts, some wins, some losses has simply not happened.
For now, here is a bit of a list, I will be back with more detail!
