Very many apologies for the confusion that I inadvertently caused. My only excuse is that, since retirement, I have had trouble telling what day it is, let alone what date!
Thank you - I'm happy to accept your congratulations as wholeheartedly as you offer them. Thank you for the prize, Francis -- one of those gizmos would be quite handy when we get threatening looks from the neat, not to mention kine, on our stroll round the village.
