I'm still here and thanks for the PMs and emails received, very kind and thoughtful of you all
Haven't been posting or even coming to GN since, as Hetty said, 14th because my eyes are playing up.
As they get worse, there's only a limited amount to time I can tolerate online and I've had to be aware that essental things at home had to come first.
I've also had my grandson to stay and some birthday parties to organise.
I'll do my best to stay in touch.
Meanwhile, I'm having my birthday dinner tonight at a local Japanese restaurant.
