Sorry to hear you are a bit under the weather Scylla, hope you get your oomph back soon
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Thanks, CATLADY - Strepsils and paracetamol have helped.
Regarding a late start to the new-season thread - as I mentioned the other day, I was planning to wait for ALAN PETRIE to give the go-ahead, tacitly, with his reports. The weather must be off-putting our Ospreys, very sensible of them to hold off, I'm currently watching snow fallng on Lowes.
