Thanks Vic, very generous of you. So now I don't need to go shopping for a magic wand, just get some practice in. Did I say some! Ok a hell of a lot. But aged seventy seven now, do you think I have the years left in me. ha ha.:sob:

I agree with the Ally being a tad to thick Woody, but it doesn't take away the fact that you still have two very nice pens my friend .. :thumbs:
