Kevin's comment reminds me of the motto that hangs on our kitchen wall:

"There are few pleasures in life that it is worth forgoing in order to spend an additional six months in a nursing home!" (John Mortimer - "Rumpole of the Bailey")

I'm not personally quite ready for sheltered housing, but I suppose a bit of practice wouldn't go amiss! Just so long as we don't have to watch "Countdown".

Seriously though, Carol (my favourite herpetologiste) is hardly senile, and Jacqui C speaks well of the venue, so the main danger is if it is so comfortable and we all consume so much brought in booze that we fall asleep in the armchairs to be awakened by the startled residents the next morning.

But that's their problem ...
