tiredAnywho, he is now out of the way meeting the daughter in London for the handover of house keys (he's on cat sitting duty while she's off in the South China Seas on a tall ship for three weeks)He's absolutely nackered from all that banging and screwing. Pity I wasn't the recipient of all that attention.
His absence has given me the opportunity to pick up the batik that has been framed, and a brass pole for the wall hanging. (pics can be found here Bayard and Hanging)
Stand by all MWNN's friends for an invite to his 60th Birthday Bash, in the form of a virtual reality party. Y'all will receive an e-mail invite with alias e-mail addresses and membership of the website I am setting up to facilitate messages and on-line chat and quaffing of much alcohol. So all you overseas buddies don't think you're escaping this one. It may happen at an odd time for some of you, but come 13th October - be ready!
