Very well, thank you. Although a bit tired. Stupid job. Switching from late to early shift every other week...

There's a small envelope on its way to you :) Hope you like the content.

Isn't it? It's always good to know were our ship is :)

Sun is missing here too. Nasty rain, wind and grey grey grey... :(
