Absence memo... and a little plea

Just letting you all know that as of tomorrow I'll be away for a week with little or no internet access. So if I'm slower than usual in replying to your orders and emails, at least you'll know why. You'll hear from me as soon as I'm back.

And now, I've got a request for you all -- actually, more of a desperate plea. I have some friends in London who are in dire need of a builder to do refurbishment to the exterior of their home. The renovations are long overdue, but that's because they haven't been able to find a reliable builder or firm of builders in London. You'd think that in a city that large it would be a snap to find someone to do it, but... no such luck. If any of you Londoners can recommend a firm, please drop me an email to sauveterre AT gmail DOT com and I'll pass the information on.

Thanks and have a good week, everyone!
