Sorry not being very present on the forum since several months, there was some time ago a big loss in my family and last months/years were really hard times.

I promise I'll soon be there again in a better mood, I mean enough good mood to appreciate Dapleb funny quotes / fixitsan long posts / all other forum members and even some mint jelly - well, not quite sure about the latter.

Cheers !  :good:

It can be difficult. We lost my Dad last January. Very sore, and in August the wife lost her Mum (last remaining parent).

 

It can be difficult coming out of the daze, sometimes you don't even want to
