Thank you all for your kind wishes and to get back to the biblical age, it's three score years and ten.......so there Garry!   

Went to the Perth Casino today for lunch in a new cafe they have (there are a couple of them), wouldn't say I could recommend it though, food not so good and overpriced. I asked about their fish and chips, and they told me the fish was Basa, so gave that a big miss (see the Health section on this forum for post on Basa fish).

Enjoyed the company though, and it was a nice day out.

Had a couple of visitors later that day at home to end the day. The chocolates and wine I got went down very well!!
