That will have to wait, I need to get some laundry done and take a shower etc, as I have an appointment with a Moh's surgeon to take a look at a sore on my nose tomorrow afternoon. It is not the first time, and unless I fall over before spring, probably not the last time. One of the nuisance of being a white caucasion I guess. And my speil checker has gone away.
