Hannu has booked a flight back to the UK for the 8th September. That is when I will next see my wife and that is a little scary.

But not anything that we won't live through and remember it in years to come as 'the sort of thing that we do'. I don't think that we are unusual in that we have spent quite a bit of time apart in the - almost five now - that we have known each other. But I know that there are mostly good reasons for it all.

Like making some sacrifices in the present in order to live how we want to live in the long term? Maybe. Quality of Life is one of my favourite things and for me that phrase does not always seem to meet with practicality... and that is absolutely OK.

I am at work, finishing some things off and kind of waiting for the right moment to have someone let me out.
