Oh! Dear, I recognise the above. Still I hope you got Xmas carols and icing
sugar on your meds. It is hard to be jolly when you're sick and I hope that
every thing starts working properly again. <Tails off into embarrassed silence

Thanks to an animal rescue center in central Florida, we do. The
adoption fee was only $55. The pen to put the horse into cost over $900.

My windows are all at ground level. That's the down side of basement
apartments, when machinery needs 'testing' it's really hard to justify
being on the roof.
"I swear, this is what my toaster normally goes through when I make
toast. Of course it should be covered by the warranty, doesn't everyone
use their toaster on the roof? The bird just came along and tipped it
over the edge. Must have wanted the toast."

Dear lord, no! Now, hot apple cider, once I'm better, is completely
different.

Seconded, may the New Year bring everyone more, or less as they wish,
interesting times, more good and less bad then the year before.
