Trix ..... be very careful you don't injure yourself straining to pick him up. Once you've done it ..... at our age we don't recover so well. I injured my knee a few years ago and over time ... it's got worse. To go upstairs I have to put my "good" foot on a step and bring my "b...

I agree. It's back to front for me. In the UK we put the day, month - then year.

MD... You are correct. I am not real fond of the format that OT uses here, either, but putting the year first is just crazy.
