Ho Mort !! ( hug emoticon)

HO! A

How`s yer pens? 

  George,

I am pleased to report that the Paw of Mort has stopped growing and my knuckles have made a tentative reappearance. I hurled serious quantities of Tea Tree oil at it during the evening on the basis that, as an antidote for the bite of a Funnel Web spider then it should give this little bugler a ran for its money! So, fingers crossed. But only on my left hand

Thank you for asking

grump, grump, grump.
I am glad though Morticia's hand is better.

Ho Mort,
The shell show* was actually last week but we had car trouble while down south (for the shell show and helping catalogue the Liszt Society library) and so had to hire a car and drive it back up here after that.  Obviously, not being as rich as King Midas, I couldn't afford to rent that car indefinately (plus it is seriously uncomfortable as I am quite tall and it was a Corsa) so we took that back yesterday and retreived my car from the garage (who said it couldn't be fixed until this week anyway!)  Still, we did call on the chap we stayed with last week (the Liszt society secretary) for lunch and also one of my oldest friends and his family around dinnertime.

* = I did get some very nice shells though, as usual, plus I've nearly finished organising my shell room for the first time in 4 years (it went messy after the move nearly a year ago but wasn't really very tidy in the old house either)

Just really tired today though, plus I am at work which adds to the tiredness.

Note to self: Please do not misread this again

Tommo
