Hi Mick,
<snip>
Glad you've enjoyed infinitely better weather on the Isle of Wight, mate. I hope it continues in this vein for Jennifer's imminent arrival.
I know precisely what you mean about being busy getting rid of clutter in readiness for the "great moment" as I was in the same situation before Myrna came in March ... having lived on MY own for 17 (and a bit) years since my first wife died in 1991. But you'll get there ... no worries! Besides, your missus's presence will make all the difference to your Filipina neighbour, whose husband has been ill lately.
Cheers ... and all the Best,
Arthur.
