Welcome back Freddie. That is good news about the weather and the dentist. Your probably one of the few who doesn't have to wear falsies.

Good Morning Jessica and Phil. Are you on the mend now.

Nothing wrong with falsies, I can wear a 36b, LOL?.

Good afternoon Dawn and Julien

I am taking it easy for the rest of the week as it's still very hot and I am gathering my strength up. Jessica tells me that when I stopped breathing, everything else had a strain put on it, everything...I think She has gone for a swim to cool off

Pervey ha ha! I can't get into my leathers these days Julien, but they would go with your Biggles Flying Jacket

We had to go into a carpet shop, and I kid you not the smell of rubber was intoxicating,
