Hi ab
I thought it should be some sort of anagram, but even with your answer I can't spot the anagram fodder. Could you point it out, please?

Hi again, emrach.
We've had a few nice days here, so I've been out a bit. Back to normal today, though! How are you?

Thought "A hat is an EC" + SE (bridge partners) gives Eats China Sea - which is "in the main"?
