Thanks a lot Dutchy - I do like to read through this each week - it certainly helps to remind me of things that have to be done.

Sorry all who use this.
Next weeks instalment will be there on saturday, at least that is what I plan.

I'm sure you'll be forgiven Dutchy. It's quite interesting stuff and I always pop in to have a look, it's a good reminder and I need reminding every now and a again as the old brain cells get older ;D

[Auricula]

Sounds fascinating - has anyone been watching the TV programme called something like "Monty's vineyard"? It is about Monty Walkeden (?) who bought a vineyard in France and is working it by the phases of the moon. It is very interesting

Oh well monday it is then ;D
