@Margaret63 You are so right, except they really are magnificent beasts, aren't they? I had lunch with friends yesterday, first time 'out' for the wife who - some months ago now - had a complex operation on her spine and now another one on her hip joint. She was in a bad way, but her husband came to shine, really looked after her, cooked, cleaned, pushed her around in a wheelchair etc. Yesterday he said: "I now realise how much work a woman is doing round the house" - because he had to do it all! It was a nice meeting and I am so happy for that plucky lady - who has yet another op to go - but she'll get through it, I know. How was your 'pearly' outing? Go well Tau
