Hi Peter
Your dear wife reminds me of an elderly couple I met in Chronos, when they
were still a tiny one-man-and-a-dog company in a large shed in St Albans.
The old chap was about to pay the bill, and his wife said "isn't there
ANYTHING more that you need Dear?" I remarked "Where did you get HER
from?!"
Cherish your jewel, Peter!
Cheers! Hubert
