Thanks very much to everyone. I'm afraid I was in hospital until 7 p.m. last night as I very cleverly developed pneumonia and a bit of heart thingy over Christmas and got carted off, apparently looking like an animated corpse, just after New Year.
I am now back - complete with oxygen-for-the-home (it doesn't match the decor but what the hell) and so many pills it's like a pharmacy in here. I was determined to get out on my birthday but champagne and red wine are postponed at present. Note, I said postponed - not cancelled.
Cheers!
