    AF you are ace me dear - I dunno if Darwin will make it up that hill/ Mind you he does the berridale braes - nothing wrong with a watermelon for her birthday - just that she was hoping for a bit of a cello.

    Tis funny - she said it probably won't sound so good for vivaldi but might taste better.................:)

    i think its just the name watermelon that makes me laugh.

    When I did my stint as a checkout girl, everytime someone had a watermelon and I had to lift it and weigh it I would say 'I carried a watermelon' in true dirty dancing fashion then crease up, much to my own amusement.

    Happy Birthday to Fay's DD!

    Watermelons annoy me - it's the pips. I'm not good with things with pips.

    Hope you're feeling a bit more chirpy now Fay
