Thanks John & Dot. Will make the effort now I'm a man of leisure (ha ha...) and hope we pull it off.
Probably be there after pub tonight, but tomorrow and Sunday are dead certs.
Yet more good wishes (all gratefully received) keep coming in. The College bought me a Royal Doulton crystal decanter and two brandy glasses "for your Metaxa"
and even the Principal came to see me to wish me well. This retirement thing seems to turn you into a saint who never did or said anything wrong. I suspect it was because I was constantly his Union adversary and he's glad to see the back of me.
No such junk in Arillas....
