Still 9 hours of this year left here and now , so in case I Dont make it , have a good one and hope you spend it with your family. Regards JS

Re: Things that stick in the mind except the actual date.
hi marian #12
good morning, like you and your family the omicron is rampant in its surge to upset all before it, my own household is rife with it and my wife with four or five test kits in her house coat as i write this, but at this moment we are in the clear, but we are expected at a party tonight, ( where i have promised to turn up in a black wig and a blacked out face ) so as to be the good luck charm to let the new year in , but you are more than welcome this side of the border if jimmy krankies daughter gets too much for you.

Graham, nice photo, I presume that is you in the middle?
Sorry to hear you have lost the 20 inches, happens to us all
Was in Japan a couple of years ago, great time the people are so polite and helpful.
One problem though, got home and for two months was still bowing to just about every thing.
