Thank you kathy for a laughter waking my Saturday ... yes the English language is a strange subject on one hand there are thousands of words for one thing and then again this totally bewildering "one" word for such different things ....

wishing you a happy Saturday
from a cloudy Swedish saturday morning

best wishes
