With that kind of accuracy, I can recommend Andrew to several NFL teams.

A message from Number Six: “Please wish all the Cappr’s a happy Xmas from me!” His last few comments (on several strips) haven’t been posted.

That is a beautiful fireplace! We have an electric fire but my Dad prefers the gas fires. I think that’s what they were called.
We don’t use the electric one for heat but for show by turning the flames on but no heat comes from them.
I’m volunteering for the last time tomorrow until the New Year and on Friday I’m at bingo again.
