However, unless you are desperate for the bird, don't ask anything of me.

I hope your not trying to ruffle her feathers!

She's probable busy outside in the garden as we speak!

Not likely! That east wind's far too cold again today.......even for me!

Well, I'll be .... I thought you were up for anything!

But no need to be down about it.

Don't beat yourself up just because you can't go upstairs to bed!

Not me! I'm up and away, like a Jack-in-the-box.

Me too, can't wait to get to the office!

Boy oh boy! You're keen!!

I think, all in all, we are as happy a band as Henry's "brothers".

Yes, I'm sure we would stand shoulder to shoulder (as they say ) in an emergency.

Firm friends.

Were you named after Frank Sinatra, the star who sang "Strangers in the Night"?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm, that'll be the day, both Father and his Father were Franks .... not "Frankish".

My Father's name was James, same as my Grandad and Great-Grandad! It's also my son's middle name.............it's a family thing!
