Hello Fran,
Sorry to hear about your father. I do hope he is making good progress.
I am very busy entertaining my grandchildren at present. We went to @ Bristol on Saturday. There were various activities outside as well, including plate spinning. I tried my hand and got so hooked I bought a set.
When I got home I practised until I could do it.
I am absolutely delighted at learning a new skill at my ripe old age! It was one thing I actually managed to conquor before Alex and Adam!
There's life in the old girl yet!
