Glad to help, birdie. How is MrB?

Welcome, Birdie.....though I'll be old and grey before I'm prompt enough to beat Jo.... :-(

[birdie73]

Thanks for your query scorpiojo re Mr B, he is home from hospital but not having an easy time of it due to his disability & lack of sight,very little hope of improvement re mobility & a long drawn out process re eyes as he is awaiting an op on his tear ducts which will then be followed by cataract removal.

[scorpiojo]

I'm glad MrB is home, birdie. I hope he doesn't wait too long for the op and that you have people to help you. Take care.
