Many thanks Elizabeth, but I do not wish to be reminded of this rite of passage which seems to have telescoped in the last ten years.

I just sent this quote to Gail and David and now find it applies to me as well.

"Marriage is the alliance of two people, one of whom never remembers birthdays and the other never forgets them."
Ogden Nash
US humorist & poet (1902 - 1971)

However I hasten to add the Harry and I are not married - yet!!
