  12. June said

    Thank you, everyone – you are all so sweet, I really appreciate your comments!

    And Puglette: nooo! I never even considered that someone might take my ‘secret project’ to mean a baby, so let me just nip that suggestion in the bud before anyone else gets the wrong idea! Babies are not even a consideration for us: we already have a baby Gilbank – he is furry and feline and called Maui πŸ™‚
