Africa visit

Liz has gone to Africa. I won't pretend she has gone to spend all her time exploring new products and meeting our producers. Our daughter, Lucy, lives there with her husband and our granddaughter. So, she's in Cape Town right now at Lucy's home. I'm going out in a little over a week and hopefully we can put in a trip to a working community on the northern border of South Africa. They are making interesting products that we might add to our portfolio.
I'll let you know how it goes. For the moment, I'm nursing a cold - no, it's not life threatening but it is a pain. Anyway, the weather here has done nothing to alleviate the chance of getting a cold. No wonder we have a swine flu epidemic. How 'global warming' held out the prospect of balmy summers - it's obviously not to be.
It's Friday again. another working week is behind us. Have a great weekend!
