Thanks, Maria. Yes definitely a challenge to the back . . .I've been trying to break up long sessions at the computer with stretches, but when I'm really into writing I tend to forget about everything else.' Enjoy your wet, rainy day-- I love spring too, but it seems to have already slid into summer here in southern France. Hot, hot, hot for the next week or so . . . then probably hotter, hotter, hotter.
