Hello Everybody, is Everybody fine? Do you ever get the feeling that there are gremlins or some such working against you? They are certainly with me today… They were messing in the washing as I hung it out to dry, they’ve been pressing the caps lock as I type and they’ve even been making me ‘to do’ lists…
