    Hi Doc,

    Sorry for delayed response; I have been organizing my retirement and
    dealing with Covid.

    (Despite taking all recommended precautions and behaving sensibly, I
    still tested positive and was in isolation.)

    Fully recovered and back on my feet now.

    The "Wicked Bible" exists in a number of countries and is a very
    valuable collectors' item.

    Kiwis don't need this authority in order to indulge in the lascivious
    behaviour that it advocates. We are just like everybody else in this
    regard... :-)

    I hope all is well with you and yours,

    Cheers,

    Pete.

    It is good to hear that you're in better health, Mr Dashwood. May you be
    free of any lingering or unforseen effects and carry on in your frolics as
    did Father William.

    I hope all is well with you and yours,

    Knock on wood, triple-expectorate and may no Evil Eye befall us... it
    rolls.

    In my youth, I kept all my limbs very supple.
    By the use of this ointment
    (one shilling the box...)
    Allow me to sell you a couple... :-)

    I hope all is well with you and yours,

    You may have omitted the necessary widdershins... Never mind, different
    covens have different rules...

    I keep trying to retire but they won't let me.

    Now it's someone needing interfaces to an API in C#...

    Still, it makes the streets of Tauranga safer with me indoors, and I do
    love writing code.

    We are on the verge of another Covid outbreak here and the figures are
    jumping alarmingly.

    It is a good time for anti-social, cantankerous old hermits like me; I
    LIKE being isolated...

    Thanks for the response Old Chum, glad to see there are some stable
    things left in the World. :-)

    Pete.
