[vakayu]

yes then Troy looks okay.Sorry for intrusion ceilog bookbinder if your avatar implies your profession I wish I knew you personally as I have a series of books gifted to me by my late uncle in need of restoration!

[bookbinder]

vakayu, it's always pleasant to be addressed personally by you. Yes, I was a bookbinder, but I am no more a binder of books. I retired in 2004, and am now enjoying a life unfettered by anything other than aching joints and a bit of forgetfulness! I would love to help, but those days are now long gone!

[vakayu]

Oh that is such a pity,I am glad to hear other than the usual complaints of ageing(I have a few myself)you are enjoying your retirement after what must have been and enjoyable and rewarding career,take care.x
