Not at all, feeling great at the moment. the weather is absolutely superb. We've been shopping at ASDA and COSTCO all day, not my favourite occupation but Dorothy doesn't drive. Costco had Velvet toilet rolls on offer in 36 roll packs (Marged I'm listening to Mascagni's Cavaleria Rusticana Intermezzo)) I read somewhere that they're Prince Charles's preferred product so if it's good enough for him it's good enough for me. Dorothy filled her trolley whilst I sojourned in the coffee shop. Then we went to Asda where I listened to a local school band playing in the foyer. They only looked about ten years old but they were very good and were collecting for funds to help them on their way to London to play for the Queen. By the way Marged, Francesca got 72% in her Theatrical Singing exam. After that Brian we retired to Barbara's Chippie in Shaw village for plate meat pie, chips and peas for lunch. On the way back I noticed the pub in Market Street is a Robinson's house so we sampled a swift pint and a half twice. I've not had Robinson's bitter for quite some years, very palatable. Mickey mouse re-appeared , this time downstairs in the out house where he had a nibble at Dorothy's chocolate biscuits. She would be satisfied with nothing less than poison bait in the utility room and the garage, but I intend to get another Pestclear 2000 for in the utility room. I cleared it with the makers because I was concerned that two might beat together, conflict and produce zero output. Like out of phase if you are technically minded. They said no way but I always have the sneaking suspicion that they might just be salesmen. The spell check just got Mascagni as Lasagna and I Fear it also is a Goddam Yankee because it spelled favourite as favorite. I've heard of Mr Gil Favor, has anyone else.

Just reminded me Jim that I haven't made the tape I promised Brian - will do, Bri! Glad to hear Francesca did so well in her music exam. she must be GOOD. You must have your spellcheck set for American English, Jim - you can set it for British English. Marj --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Thanks, Marj. Can you remember who it was who wanted my recipe for cheese on "toats" done in the toaster? And bacon butties in the microwave? I've just been reminiscing with Sue Mac and we can't remember.
