Good morning CJ
Had a major operation in May but recovering well.Slow slog :-)
Thank you for asking.

[RebusCJ]

Good afternoon DK,
Good to hear from you too.

Retro,
Hope you make a full and complete recovery.
I reckon the best approach to ops. is "Non illegitimi carborundum."
(Latin has never been my strongest subject, actually.)

Kind regards to both,

CJ

[retrocop]

Thanks CJ
I never did Latin but I get the drift. As long as I have a pulse I let very little grind me down whatever their parentage. :-)

[MargoTester]

Good afternoon CJ nice to see you.

[RebusCJ]

Hi MT,
nice to see you too. I often read your posts - they're very good, if I may say so.

Hi again, Retro, I really like your approach to life - and your delicate language!

Kind regards to you both.

CJ

says you . you little tinker CJ. slipping in " In extremis" Was that a Blue salmon? :-)

[dannyk13]

You'll do it ok Retro :-)

[retrocop]

Yes I just have. What threw you in it. "the potter's wheel"? :-)

[dannyk13]

The Latin Retro.

[retrocop]

I can hardly believe that. I have seen you answer plenty of clues with Latin answers. Sorry. I never did Latin and I normally can only answer some Latin legal words or phrases like adjourned sine die etc or "nut and gut report" etc. :-)

[dannyk13]

Just that I didn't expect it in Pitcherwits, so I wasn't looking for a Latin phrase..
