    Good luck Margo. Very scary going on right now. Between what's going on there and the little scary dude in N. Korea (and the big scary dude in Washington DC), these are tough times.

    and...what maillotpois sed

    Margo, even though I have family in Israel it's funny (well not funny haha) that when I saw the headlines first thing I think is "there's a TE gal there, hope she's ok"

    Let's hope somehow there's peace soon.

    Don't make me come down there and say "I don't care who hit who first, all of you, all sides just sit down, take a time out, kiss and make up. Have some chocolate, we all like chocolate, right?*"

    Margo,

    Thinking of you with every news report. My heart aches that this level of hostilities has started up again. Stay safe and sane if you can, and know that we're all thinking of you here on TE.

    Margo - everyone else has put it so well - just know I'm thinking about you - stay safe!

    Maybe it's a good time to sink your new beak into a good book! Got any good ones lined up?
    Keep calm and carry on...

    What a man!
    The SO said lets go into town real early b4 things hot up,. So we load the bike and get to the lbs at like 9.15 am.
    Have a chat to the couple, tell my crash story (in my inimitable style), a few laughs and buy a new helmet (giro). She gives me a purple aluminium water-bottle with their shop name on that they have just done and I say Oh where was that in June? and tell her about you all and the Secret Sisters (She was not in the shop the days I bought SS stuff for Susie and Patty)

    Then we go to the bakery and the word goes out for people to get to the shelters. So we find DD (17) who is in a *cafe * (a chip off the old block- not )
    and drive back safe and sound but bike-less in the interim .

    Injuries healing, resting and waiting for Eurosport and Le Tour ...

    Huge thanks and TE hugs for all your good wishes for *all* of us In The General Region

    All you need is love...la-dee-da-dee-da...all you need is love!
