So ...

[Joan]

I'm off at the beginning of June to Portugal again for a restful week by the pool, beer in hand. Fingers crossed, I'm also hoping to get back to Montana in September.

That's not very far away, Roger.  You must be getting excited ... I seem to have a terrible case of wanderlust suddenly.  Don't know why.

Hmmm...My wife said the same. Have you been having hot flushes and temper tantrums involving the throwing of kitchenware too?

[Joan]

No, No!  I'm far too young for that sort of thing!     I haven't had much to do with the kitchenware since the old man's been at home.  I've been off galavanting with friends while he's been cooking the meals - finally, the way things should be.  Wonder how long it will last? 

Actually, I tell a lie, I did make pancakes tonight - crepes, but he whipped the cream and put the Grand Marnier in it ... and he made the quiche of which I ate the last piece for dinner.
