Hi Milady

I am on the better side, recovering from a nasty middle ear infection, hope you and all are well too. x

[Mamyalynne]

Jazz if that is right is a shocking clue, but who knows.

[Jean Genie]

Thankls to all who replied. I too still cannot understand the word "entrance". I am so grateful to all of you who help me out
every week. Old age does not come by itself!!!

[ladyalex]

So sorry to hear you've been unwell, Mamya.
I've had middle ear infections and they are pretty bad.
Glad you're on the mend now, though.

We're all fine and the good news here is that the son-and-heir has got a new job in Belgium...at least we will be on the same continent now!

[Mamyalynne]

With apologies to Jean Genie for the digression....


That is good news Milady, my eldest Daughter and family have given up on Hamburg - so I now have all my babies back. :-)

[ladyalex]

Good news for you too then, Mamya...they will always be our babies...

Sorry for the interruptions, Jean Genie.
