Sorry, took the weekend off dead for tax reasons ... as for the cryptoquip, it's a simple keyboard phase right to solve (with p,l, and m scrolling to q, a, and z respectfully).
Sorry I missed the grope hug (anytime Julie is involved in a hug, there's groping).
Should see everyone in the loft sometime
