I can't imagine what you mean, Mary. Are you suggesting I have been anything less than sweetness and light whilst I have waited for this verdamnt thing to heal? Me???

Anyway, thanks for hanging in there with me,dear friends, just heard from the hospital and they have asked me to go in tomorrow on the basis that it's easier to fit me into a bed if I am actually on the premises so, all things being equal,I should be welded and braced by this time tomorrow.
