Sorry folks, been in Portugal for the last week.  Couldn't get access to the blog, for some reason, but also wary about saying that we are away on an open site.  You never know who might be reading!
But we had a good time and I will write a bit about that in the next few days.  Prime concern now is Joey's first day back at school.  He is, again, unhappy at the prospect.  He is not happy at school.  We really do not know what to do.  Too tired now to discuss any further and am off to bed early.
