I hope you're just taking a break...

Les


You see, old bean, in your mildly irritating but. Always endearing way, you have permeated the hearts of the Chi gang

Hopefully your absence bodes a soon to be storied adventure or misadventure and nothing worrisome.

Know that you have many friends and supporters here, even us unspoken ones

So check in soon. Even one emoji would be welcome. Hopefully one not involving a single digit

I seem to remember that Les 'took a sabbatical' a couple of years ago, for personal reasons. On that occasion he did announce his intentions in advance.
He reappeared eventually.
Hopefully that will happen this time as well

I couldn't agree more Mike and Voncie. Please just let us know that you're ok Les.

Yes, we’re all waving 👋🏻… would be good just to get a wave back.

Yes, Les, we're frantically waving - please let us know you're OK...

Is it my imagination or has Mike (mkenuk) disappeared as well???

I can't recall seeing him amongst the rosettes on the 7bm and can't see him anywhere on any puzzles - on holiday (with Les???)

Mike said a couple of weeks ago (in the More or Les thread) that he'd be busy for a while doing some online lessons.

He's been out of commission for many months (years?) initially due to ill health.

I may be getting mixed up but I think Paula (Lilys Field) is a friend of his.

Yes, Penny, you're right. Paula has passed on messages to and from Alonzo....but I think it has been quite some time since there was any news of him.

Alonso will be happy to know he’s still in your thoughts. We were last in touch a couple of months ago; he was in the rehab facility. Cheerful. Not complaining. I’ll check in on him soon & send regards.

It’s heartening to know there are genuinely concerned people out there in cyber space
