Monday,monday:

. . . still catching up after all the weekend fun, [all very much worth it, to spend a little more time in the  sun] -- and while today has been appointments and more appointments, a quick stop in to say hello, and to let you know of all the wonderful things still to come -- another great love story, an astonishingly lovely give-away, and a very special guest post . . . but until then, à bientôt / see you soon
