To Peter, Valerie and all other readers, I am chuckling with laughter on my side of the Atlantic. My mother used to say to me when I was young and was feeling depressed, out of sorts or whatever, "what is the matter with you, what are you mullygrubbing around for?" I never had any idea where the orgin of that statement or question might have come from. Imagine my suprise.
