Yes I am still alive thanks for asking

I discovered caramel cognac on Saturday night which was not a brave move
And Meldy, thanks. You clarified my thinking about the Wales weekend. You wise old thing, you.
Henny you are welcome, Gladys you are dead.
Got to M'bone at a reasonable hour to find that some little fecker had nicked some cabling and trains were delayed/cancelled so managed to clamber upon a later one with about 4 trains worth on board
The cold turned out not to be terminal after all
