Morning twix - nice work, I had no idea about 7d I'm glad you knew. How're things with you and Mrs T ?

Stared at those for a full 5 minutes and still never saw the dash in front to houses.

Well done Twix x

Hi Steff.
I'm fine thanks, just back from an enjoyable evening spent at one of our local Working Men's Clubs instead of our previous regular Zoom pub evenings on a Friday. It was good to see some of our mates who are not tech savvy and therefore don't Zoom. Plus the joy of drinking draught beer instead of tinnies.
Unfortunately Mrs. T. is still undergoing numerous tests, under 3 consultants in different medical disciplines, but none seem to be giving any feedback to either us or our GP, so we're constantly having to chase them all up.

I hope that you are keeping well, and not suffering too much from your winter weather, although Spring is now only just around the corner for you.

It's not a large dash, is it, mamya and the alternative ...well there isn't one. Perhaps I should do a -- next time. :))

Sorry to hear about Mrs T - frustrating if you have to chase up the people supposedly helping her and worse, being in the dark, not a good place, please give her my best wishes xx
