Haven't seen you for a while, Lady K. Been somewhere nice? I was with a theatre group in London and saw 10 shows in 10 days. ( I had planned on checking in periodically but had some electronic problems.) It was a good trip except that the bad cold I came home with turned out to be Covid. Between the jet lag and virus, I slept away a couple of days but am now feeling better.

Marian - spot on! But still not as nice as Yosemite... Glad it's clearing up, Lady K. 10 shows in 10 days - wow!

Good calls, gentlemen!  Remembering you dippiing your toe into the murky world of cryptics flotsam, this might help: Puppet sized octave in confusion (5,6)
