sort of pleasantish day out here. We were in the National Gallery yesterday, wandering around separately, and I came to where they were having a private view of the Leonardo exhibition, and the lady on the door said I could sneak in and have a walk round for free if I wanted. But I had to say No as I was supposed to be meeting OH upstairs in 10 minutes. A great opportunity lost. Hopefully we will get to see it in coming weeks though.
Sorry to hear about your BiL, neti, but it does sound as if he may have given up, much as happens with manflu; or perhaps there's some complication you don't know about.
I can see everyone's avatars but they're not necessarily the latest ones; there seems to be some trouble at Gravatar mill lately.
Who was the nasty man on Yahoo, shaney, someone from AB or just some American teenager?
