Thank you A/all. It’s good to be here. I’m touched.

I knew there was a reason I miss having a secretary. I guess my alpha is right — I’m so used to having slaves around that I’d forget to eat if somebody didn’t nag the hell out of me.

Still … I sent both of mine off to bed a few hours ago and am just off to the pub to hopefully cut a deal that will hopefully cut through some red-tape and either get them here, me there or all of us somewhere sunny.

But I shall give some thought to dragging them in here. Or rather, I’ll give some thought to when, having already scrubbed ‘if’ of my list of things to think about.

I don’t think I’ve had quite this warm a welcome since some bugger at my local pub spread a rumour that I’d won the Lottery Jackpot!
