UPDATE

Yes, been lazing at home, alone most times, working hard, and long hours (very early starts and late finishes - coz had nothing to do). Calls from close friends eased the feeling of being alone, and thanks to these friends - won't mention names but they know themselves, don't you people? Yes you were there and very helpful. Its a great feeling to know in times of difficulty there are people who step up and provide the requisite friendships.

Thanks friends for all this.
