Oh Dean, sad news. Agree he's had a good innings.
I'll have to miss the trip.
Too many ongoing appointments at hospitals, courses to participate in & once committed ...... I'll hold the fort here! 
Mega hooley outside. Something gone 'bang', possibly the cover off the wormery. As far as I can tell the greenhouse roof panels still all there.......
Ended up asleep on sofa earlier
so meal was something simple. Shall cook properly tomorrow. Daughter will have done her exam, so she should feel better?? J.
