Well Sandi, the day is nearly over for me. It is just before 8PM as I write this reply.
Appreciate your advice. Not sure how I will deal with that situation should it arise. I am a man after all. :-)
I showed online with Skype for an hour but gone invisible now, so that will make her think I have gone back out. Went to the car show today, but I wasn't awfully interested. It magnified the fact that W wasn't with me, as we used to do them together.
Mother was impressed though, so not a total waste!
