    thank you @cathybird for continuing this challenge.
    I’m buying new printer ink today as taking it out and shaking it doesn’t seem to work anymore 😀

    I’d like a target of 20 for February please.


    thanks very much.

    I am now back from my trip and ready to have a proper look at this new comments setup. Apologies to all for not putting up a Hello February list, between being away and the kerfuffle about the comments, I clean forgot. I'll post a list this evening.
