Hi Judy
Yes, sort of back. Blue ice piqued my professional interest, which these
days is in transport safety (since 1 July anyway - wherein lies a story
that's probably better back-channelled if you're interested). Ah, the
mysteries of a bureaucratic career!
I'm doing OK, I think, after a dodgy period. Preparing for a holiday in
Scotland, in fact, which I hope will lead to snaps and various other
quasi-poetic effusions.
Regards
Martin

>> Yep. They call it 'blue ice'. Rare occurrences, but real.
