Morning Andrea. From day one he and Jan, like spirit guides, welcomed me to this faraway land and showed me all it's treasures. I'm just sad he himself has dearly departed us this past while. I miss those precious gems. Thank you for my placement.

OMG Silent, I must be jet lagged. I thought SPIT THE DUMMY got a N/A,not an amazing number 4! Hence the misunderstanding. Humblest apologies. and even humbler thanks.
