Well, I'm back from a wonderful holiday in New York and San Francisco with thousands of great memories, 760 photos, 9 new pairs of shoes, 207 mosquito bites and 1 case of tonsilitis. I will share some of those in due course (mostly the memories and the photos, but anyone who wishes can have the mosquito bites and the tonsilitis - I'll be glad to be rid of both. The shoes - no chance of me sharing). But here are a few brief catchy uppy linky things before I head back off to bed.
