It's 6.45 p.m. on Saturday here in the UK  :ukflag; so I've decided to put on my purple boa (thanks again Petey) and raise a glass to Susie and all our other 'IHD family' who are no longer with us, we seem to have lost a lot in the year I have been here. 

Also "Cheers" to you guys in Chicago,  :wine; loving the photos.

This is much more fun than dialysis. I bet all the people in the center are wondering where I am right now.
