Well Clive it sounds like you escaped from what had the potential of 
becoming an ugly scene.  We live in strange times and one never knows what 
can happen.

The strange thing about my experience is that I never got a headache!  I 
tell friends that it just goes to prove that there's nothing up there!

I hope your weather improves.
Regards,  Pete
