Not half as speechless as I was when I had a huge, soiled nappy pushed under my nose - then she stroked the hand that held it down my face and said I had 'lovely skin'. OK, a complement! ::is being positive::

Ah, the poor old thing. It's a shame. I hope to all the Gods I never end up like that.

Thanks so much for the good wishes, hon. mum was quite bright and feisty yesterday. She wanted to go for a walk in the gardens - a definite improvement.

::hugs you across the time zones::
