(any lurkers who would like to chime in?)

I have only just managed to make it back here after a prolonged absence. Part of the reason for that is my significant other. Like most males, he is very possessive of things "techy", and has been spending so much time at our computer that I have not been able to get a look in. I am very sorry to have missed the birthday celebrations, but, on the plus(?) side, I have at least had the TV remote all to myself! It's good to be back, even if the thousands of unread posts are rather daunting.
