Beverley,
I wish it was Reisling, my favourite dry, white wine! Sadly, just a Typo, recently corrected.

When I came down last week I could not find any Reisling anywhere, but I hope that New Zealand wine I did get was dry enough for you

On your more serious subject, I know exactly how you feel.

I still fail to see what ever is in men that attracts women. I suspect that one of the reasons I never fitted in with groups of men is that I find it hard to tolerate their behaviour. Standing on the football terraces would have been hell for me. Instead I got my intellectual stimulation from plays, classical concerts, books, movies and a very small circle of friends (one of whom I suspect is gay, but he has never said anything to me).

I have always been a useless 'male'. Although I am a good parent to my children, I suspect it is my female side that has always dominated.

Did you see Frozen Planet, tonight. A 2 dog wolf pack, taking on a group of Bison. The male gave up and it was left to the bitch, to make the kill. She screamed, in pain, was red with blood, yet brought down an animal 5 times her size; so much for men {and cats}.

I almost never watch TV. If I do it has to be a good documentary or a movie with a plot to it. Last night I was struggling my way around Tescos with shopping trolley full to the top. In trainers it is hard enough to push round, in heels...

There was a french lady, whose name escapes me, who once said "The more I see of men, the more I like dogs". Maybe that should be my motto - and yours
