Excellent news about Amos - very pleased to hear it, and thanks for passing it on gnu.

Jennie, your Lurgy sounds like the one I had last year. Cough blooming cough cough cough. I ended up with one lung making a strange hooting sound when I breathed out. It wasn't an infection, just the tail-end of the endless blinking cold germ which had gone on for weeks. I called it 'The Haunted Lung'!

Donuel, don't feel guilty about being healthy. Smiling African Man and Old Lady are in the best of health at the moment, but are enjoying hanging around tending to those less fortunate, as best they can.

Would you like a toasted crumpet and a nice cup of tea Donuel? Or perhaps you could do a bedpan round? :)
