oh dear, these ailments do drag on, don't they. Perhaps you could inject some whisky into Mr S while you're having your own, shaney.
Still quite mild weather here, about 10 degrees, which is tolerable. I never wear anything on my head, it gets so hot and itchy and tangled

I went back to the travel show and lo! the Swedes were there after all. I think they must have been listed in the catalogue under Turiste Bord do Shweedie or something because they weren't under S. So I assured them I would be visiting their fine country asap. I also said the same to the Slovaks, the Armenians and the New Mexicans. I mean it too, though it may not come to pass.
