If I have sounded a bit grumpy of late, sorry.
I am sure if I had, had, a corridor consultation with DD I would have been advised to "get thee to a place of recuperation"
Anyway this grumpy old man and a lovely lady are off to New Zealand for 7 weeks and this will be my last post till mid May.
At which time I will be invigorated and just busting to participate with couth and gentility.
Bye for now, see you in May.

Take care n enjoy your special relax n rest time. Ta Ta bro … Wish I was going with you ! Gerald
Have fun mate,
@busso have a great time fella. We might miss your contributions for 7wks but the bees might enjoy being left alone 
I’d be interested to hear if the highways and trains are all ok again. My wife and I had been considering a 4-5wk holiday around NZ…
Cheers,
Get thy brain some rest and thy wife some of thy humour! Oh, and don’t forget to have some fun! 
Go bust yer fun meter!
Have a good time. If you are a fisherman there is some great fly fishing in New Zealand. If you are not a fly fisherman it could be worth a try while you are there. I will warn you its addicting and can be an expensive hobby!
Take care!
John
